The Third Coast Festival Listening Room presented a radio documentary exploring the roots of the Arab-Israeli conflict through the story of one deep friendship.

This forty-minute audio documentary was "screened" in the Feinberg Theater at Spertus. Producer Sandy Tolan hosted a question-and-answer session about the documentary.

A production of Chicago Public Radio, the Third Coast International Audio Festival celebrates the best documentary and feature work being produced worldwide for radio and the Internet. For more information, visit www.thirdcoastfestival.org.
