A groundbreaking television documentary featuring a live digital satellite link between four students at San Francisco’s Lowell High School and four Arab high school students in Amman, Jordan. This original WorldLink production is the first youth dialogue of its kind to hit American TV screens. Stephen Olsson, WorldLink’s director of original programming, calls the program “a unique meeting of cultures, hearts and minds -- four young Americans, two girls and two boys, meet electronically with their counterparts from an Arab culture perceived as hostile to ours. The conversation ranges from political disagreements to cultural stereotypes and misperceptions, interracial dating, drugs, the Intifada, teen suicide bombers, Martin Luther King, the bias of the media, and U.S. support for Israel. Although they agree on much, they remain worlds apart on issues like suicide bombings.” The players in this drama are articulate, honest and candid about the political and social factors contributing to the tragic Middle East stalemate.
