He meets Palestinians and Israelis living just kilometres apart, but shaped by vastly different realities, to discover whether peace is still possible and what future they envision. This first episode begins in Jerusalem, a city at the heart of the conflict. Episode two will be released on Thursday 19 June. #jerusalem #eastjerusalem #alongthegreenline #israel #palestine #westbank #gaza #middleeast
