Nadim's mission is to get everyone drunk and happy! Meet the father and daughter team who created Palestine's first beer and see a different side of Palestine, where Jews, Muslims and Christians all drink together in peace. This is a heart warming story of success which touches on the politics of Jewish settlements, control of natural resources and the difficulties of doing business under occupation. Filmed at the Oktoberfest in the Christian town of Taybeh on Palestine's West Bank - this is a light, festive and positive story from Palestine that you never get to see.
