Dancing in Jaffa is set in the city of filmmaker Pierre Dulaine's birth, and documents a 10-week dance program that aimed to teach Jewish and Palestinian Israeli children to dance and compete together. The film demonstrates the powerful role that the arts, and dance in particular, can play in enabling children to overcome prejudice and build strong personal ties with one another. The program is currently used in schools across the United States as well as in Jaffa, Belfast, Canada, Switzerland and Jordan to help spread the message of respect and compassion through dance.
