Najwa, Nawal, and Siham, three Palestinian widows, live with their 11 children in a house on Shuhada Street in Hebron. Their house lies on the border; the façade is under Israeli occupation, the Palestinian Authority controls the back. At the entrance to the house is a military post; on the roof the Israeli army has placed a watch point over Palestinian Hebron. The three women, trapped in the middle and constantly surrounded by Israeli soldiers, carry on their difficult lives in a perverse situation: the occupation becomes a routine, the absurd becomes a given. This is the story of an occupation that extends to the staircase and the roof of the house, where it encounters poverty, loneliness, pain, but also the small joys of everyday life. This is an internal prison, the external one is the ongoing occupation.

In the early 2000's, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators nearly reached a peace agreement. Within weeks, the opportunity vanished. Frontline examines the faltering quest for peace in "Shattered Dreams of Peace: The Road from Oslo" - a film by Charles Enderlin, a Franco-Israeli journalist, specializing in the Middle East and Israel - beginning with the 1995 assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. The two-and-a-half-hour documentary traces the peace process through years of negotiations, with new footage of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and interviews with key figures on both sides.

A documentary detailing the hunt for fugitive Nazi Adolf Eichmann. Narrated by Gregory Peck, the film details Eichmann's upbringing, what he did under Hitler's Regime and how he was brought to justice.

Filmmaker Dan Setton gained unprecedented access to the highest circles of the Palestinian leadership as he chronicles Prime Minister Salam Fayaad's quest to have Palestine recognized by the United Nations as an independent state. (TIFF)

The history of terrorism in the 20th century, beginning with the French Revolution's Reign of Terror.
