Breaking Bread
Dir.: Beth Elise Hawk | 85 minutes

Breaking Bread

USA, Israel 2019 | 85 minutes | English, Hebrew | Hebrew, English subtitles

Dr. Nof Atamna-Ismaeel - the first Muslim Arab to win MasterChef - is on a quest to make social change through food. And so, she founded the A-sham Arabic Food Festival, where Arab and Jewish chefs collaborate on dishes like kishek (Syrian yogurt soup), and qatayef (a dessert typically served during Ramadan). A film about hope and synergy, Breaking Bread illustrates what happens when people focus on the person, rather than religion or politics.
