Breaking Bread (1 h 25 min, 2022, Prime Video): Exotic cuisine and a side of politics are on the menu. Dr. Nof Atamna-Ismaeel – the first Muslim Arab to win Israel’s MasterChef – is on a quest to make a social change through food. And so, she founded the A-sham Arabic Food Festival in Haifa. There, pairs of Arab and Jewish chefs collaborate on mouthwatering dishes like kishek (a Syrian yogurt soup), and qatayef (a dessert typically served during Ramadan), as we savor the taste of hope and discover the food of their region free from political and religious boundaries.

Abe (1 hr 25 min, 2020, Kanopy): Twelve-year- old Abe is an aspiring chef, but his family – half-Israeli, half-Palestinian – have never eaten together without a fight. But when Abe ditches camp to spend time with street chef Chico, his mentor’s fusion cuisine inspires him to unite his family through food. Abe wants to cook a meal that will bring everyone to the table, but he’s about to learn that the kitchen can’t heal some divides.
