The city of Haifa has long served as a model of coexistence in Israel, where diverse populations of Arabs and Jews have lived, worked, and eaten together for generations. A prime example of Haifa’s cultural harmony is seen in its A-Sham Food Festival. Founded by Dr. Nof Atamna-Ismaeel, the first Muslim Arab to win Israel’s MasterChef, the festival pairs Arab and Jewish chefs to collaborate on delectable dishes. As the chefs work side-by-side to transform and preserve traditional recipes, they draw tens of thousands of food lovers into the city. A delightful and inspiring documentary, BREAKING BREAD follows the chefs of A-Sham through their unique culinary journeys as they celebrate their respective cultural heritages and their passion for food. A breath of fresh air, BREAKING BREAD intimately captures the magic that happens when we focus on what brings us together, rather than our differences. At the A-Sham Food Festival, there is no room for religion or politics in the kitchen. (In English and Hebrew with subtitles) — G.S.
