Being a teenager is tough, but what is it like to grow up in the shadow of military conflict and occupation? Judah and Mohammad is an intimate portrait of two teenage boys, one Israeli and one Palestinian, filmed over 18 months. Judah is one of the smartest kids in his year, but to the frustration of his teachers, he has attitude problems. When he finishes school, he will have to spend at least three years in the Israeli Defence Force. And he strongly believes it is his duty to serve Israel. Mohammad lives less than 30 kilometres east of Tel Aviv, in the city of Ramallah. Born at the time of the first Intifada, occupation is all he has ever known. As he approaches adulthood, he is becoming more politically aware and wants to be involved in the resistance to the occupation. For the first time, cameras have been given access to Israeli and Palestinian classrooms, revealing how they are being prepared for an uncertain future at this critical juncture of the conflict. For both Judah and Mohammad, school history lessons are as much about the present as they are about the past. History is not just another academic subject, but an ongoing force defining the way they see the world.
