Ever since 17-year-old Rachel Levy, an Israeli, was killed four years ago in Jerusalem by a Palestinian suicide bomber, her mother Avigail has found hardly a moment’s peace. Levy’s killer was Ayat al-Akhras, also 17, a schoolgirl from a Palestinian refugee camp several miles away.  The two young women looked unbelievably alike.

The documentary film, To Die in Jerusalem, explores - through the two families’ personal losses and Avigail Levy’s search for answers - the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, mutual pain despite cultural differences and diverse perceptions of death; and ultimately, the hope for peace.  The film’s most revealing moment is in an emotionally-charged meeting between the mothers of the two dead girls.
