Meet Reya - radio presenter and daughter of an Arab Muslim father and Jewish mother. Her parents met in London in the 80s. The 25-year old was born in the UK and lived in Qatar as a child, then moved back to Oxford with her parents and three siblings when she was five years old. Reya's family has very different views on the Arab-Israeli conflict. Amid the differences, she stands somewhere in the middle. In this film and for the first time in her life, Reya travels to the heart of the conflict between Jews and Muslims - to Israel, Gaza and the West Bank - to see events through the eyes of young Israelis and Palestinians. Her encounters reveal how everyday life for them has been made shockingly different - often very dangerous - by the long-running hostilities they were born into. It's a world away from the life she knows. But she believes the two cultures to be similar and that the two sworn enemies have more in common then they realize.
