West Bank Story - a spoof on West Side story

This is a short film by Jewish American Ari Sandel that won an Oscar for best live action film 2007.
It's about an Israeli soldier and a Palestinian cashier. The second link is a discussion with the director, and an audience representing Arab-ISraelis, Israelis and Palestinians.

BTW The Palestinian is played by an actor of Indian-Muslim origin.
