A Palestinian infant born with a severe immune deficiency appeared certain to die before adults around him forged an unlikely alliance. This documentary tells how people with every reason to hate one another—including an Israeli doctor, the child’s fiercely anti-Israeli mother, and an anonymous Jewish donor whose son had been killed by Palestinians—set aside their differences when one boy’s life hung in precarious balance. Powerful yet unsentimental, the film has garnered controversy and critical acclaim alike. Thursday, May 5, at 8:30 p.m., HBO
