Storyline
Jews and Muslims. In people’s minds, Jews and Muslims have become the archetype of sworn enemies in an endless conflict. This vision made of misunderstandings and omissions leads to growing hatred on both sides. And yet, history shows us that the tension is quite recent, starting merely 150 years ago. By going back to the mythical times of Abraham, up until today, this 4-part series explores what could be the world’s oldest family feud. The goal is not to describe a golden age where today’s enemies lived in perfect harmony until the 19th century, but rather to deconstruct historical misbeliefs.
