Palestinian Aziz Abu Sarah and Israeli Maoz Inon are unlikely peacemakers, dedicated to finding a solution to the bitter war that has decimated historical, ancient land and ended family lines. In THE FUTURE IS PEACE: A SHARED JOURNEY ACROSS THE HOLY LAND, the pair takes readers on their unforgettable weeklong journey while exploring each other’s personal and national histories in a land of competing narratives, amid the turbulent push and pull of near constant war, and the recent devastation that has rocked the world. Despite the losses they have suffered, the resolve of their friendship has taught them that strength and unity are more powerful than the violence of separation. Throughout their travels, they have been constantly asked: In the face of so much pain and suffering on both sides, when there have been so many lives lost and families shattered, how can they ever find hope? Their answer is always the same. One cannot find hope. We must create it. Virtual viewing starts Tuesday, April 28 and is available video-on-demand for five days after.

Emmy Award-winning technology journalist Joanna Stern surrendered her life to artificial intelligence for one year to find out if AI would make us healthier, run our business more efficiently, return free time to us and just make life better. I AM NOT A ROBOT: MY YEAR USING AI TO DO (ALMOST) EVERYTHING is like a time machine to the very near future, where AI promises to be your doctor, chauffeur, teacher, masseuse, coworker, thera­pist, financial planner, chef, and even . . . romantic partner. Joanna used AI tools and robots to do household chores, to manage her health, and to transport her family on vacation. Of course, tech’s sunny promises never tell the whole story, and after a year of living as a human lab rat, Joanna deliv­ers one of the clearest—and funniest—pictures yet of what’s really happening and what it means for you. Virtual viewing starts Sunday, May 25 and is available video-on-demand for five days after.
