Rawabi, promised Palestinian city - VPRO documentary - 2012
193As long as we can remember, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been at the background of many of the geopolitical conflicts.
And the so-called peace process seems to be more stuck than ever.
In the midst of this situation, a Palestinian millionaire is laying the stepping stones for a spectacular breakthrough.
Bashar Masri is building a model city, at 25 km from Jerusalem, in the middle of the occupied territories.
By realizing his dream, he believes he will marginalize radicals on both sides of the conflict.
Meet Bashar Masri and the project of Rawabi City.
Originally broadcasted by VPRO in 2012.
