Forbidden Marriages in the Holy Land

Michel Khleifi - docu - 66 min 1995

Khleifi interviews nine inter-faith and inter-racial couples in Israel,
asking each where they met, how they have addressed religious or cultural
differences in their marriage, how their families have responded to the
relationship, and how they chose where to live. He also has a professor and
three religious leaders comment: a sheikh, a rabbi, and a priest. The three
religious spokesmen are dead set against inter-faith marriage, while the
couples express themselves in simple terms about their partner's kindness
and other human qualities.
