In 1948, the foundation of the state of Israel split the land between Israelis and Palestinians, turning the region into a volatile linchpin in global efforts to keep the world at peace.

PALESTINE: STORY OF A LAND asks whether negotiations can lead to a harmonious coexistence on this troubled land.
