Abstract
Frontiers of Dreams and Fears was shot over five years (2001–2005) and weaves together momentous events in the lives of two groups of Palestinian children—one in a Beirut refugee camp and one in the West Bank, near Bethlehem. It is the third film in the trilogy of children and war. After the Israeli army’s sudden withdrawal from Lebanon, the film records emotional meetings on the Lebanese/Israeli border of families who had not seen each other for decades. The Second Intifada is shown with filming in parallel locations in Lebanon and the West Bank and themes emerge between the two groups, which highlight striking similarities in the Palestinian children’s personal lives and attitudes.
