He has spent almost a decade covering the Middle East for the news media including Swedish Television and Radio. He had thought about making a movie about Israel peace activists. Carlsson felt their work was very important, and he was impressed with their commitment to this cause. They risk injury and even death in their work. These activists’ beliefs are shared by a minority of the Israeli population. They are condemned by those with opposing views including members of their friends and family. Terje felt it was important for their story to be told. Terje Carlsson filmed a documentary about a 17 year old teenager, Leila, living in Hebron in 2006 and 2007. This critically acclaimed documentary “Welcome to Hebron” was released in 2008. Because of the film’s great success, Swedish TV wanted Terje to make another film about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He told them about the work of Israeli peace activists and “Israel vs. Israel” born.
