About the film: “Another Road Home” is the deeply moving story of Israeli filmmaker, Danae Elon’s quest to reconnect with the Palestinian man who helped raise her. Elon’s emotional journey takes her from her current home in New York to an Arab-American neighborhood in New Jersey and finally to the West Bank and Jerusalem. This evocative documentary by the daughter of the famous Israeli author, Amos Elon, tells the universal story of displaced people who find refuge and a sense of family in a new homeland.
