The Enemies Project
A PEOPLE DIVIDED ARE A PEOPLE FALLEN
The Enemies Project helps "enemies" discover the human being in each other.
What's This All About?
In each episode, the Enemies Project documentary pairs two people with fiercely opposing worldviews. Intense conflict, yes. But the Enemies Project is neither gotcha TV nor political debate. The purpose is for "enemies" to find the humanity in the other — because in a warring world, understanding is rebellion.
Episodes are hosted by Peacemaker Larry Rosen.
Filming began in autumn 2024 and will continue through 2026.
Released Episodes
Ordinary people of the "enemy" are not our enemies. They are us on the other side.
