Amidst the constant flow of headlines detailing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, arises a story of unlikely cooperation. The residents of Kibbutz Shoval enjoy all the conveniences of the modern world, while the nearby Palestinian villagers of Susia live in caves without electricity. When Israeli physicist Noam Dotan offers to help his Palestinian neighbors harness renewable energy, an amazing partnership is formed. Israelis and Palestinians alike challenge the bureaucratic obstacles of government policy and wrestle with their own fears of each other in a joint venture to literally bring light to the village of Susia. Shot over three years by filmmaker Danny Verete, The Human Turbine shows us what is possible when people make the choice to develop positive solutions. Colorado Premiere
