Background: The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra was the brainchild of Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim and the late Palestinian-born writer Edward Said, and is a unique musical collaboration dedicated to further the cause of a peaceful co-existence in the Middle East.

The DVD documents the orchestra's August 2005 concert in the Palestinian Territory in the city of Ramallah. Also included, a newly revised feature-length documentary Knowledge is The Beginning, filmed over a six year period, telling the story of Barenboim and Said’s friendship and their development of the orchestra, through interviews, rehearsal and concert excerpts. Extra material includes Barenboim’s controversial award of the Wolf Prize from the Israeli Parliament in 2005 and footage of Edward Said.
