The story

The film begins with footage from the Battle of Berlin and then the liberation of Dachau concentration camp. Bobby Goldman (Feild), an American Jewish soldier who helped liberate Dachau strikes up a friendship in post-war New York City with Said Chahine (Taghmaoui), a wealthy Palestinian student from Jerusalem. As the United Nations votes for the creation of the state of Israel, both are pulled into conflict, their involvement taking them from New York City to Jerusalem, where they risk their lives for what they each believe in.
