Stillpoint is a daring, controversial examination of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that shows the struggles of ordinary men and women on both sides. Spanning the period from 1947 to the modern day and showing how lives are affected from Boston to Beirut, from Haifa to Rockport. Do we learn from history? It would appear that we don't. What we learn we can easily forget, but understanding is of a different order, it cannot be forgotten. The poet T.S. Elliot describes this place of understanding as "The stillpoint of the turning world."
We live in a world that you might not understand. It's the year 2017, three years ago the government found a way to genetically engineer peoples emotions. Now to stop the " epidemic" of violence that broke out in 2001 after the attack on the Twin Towers, everyone at the age of 17 is required to get the emotion injection. There are some people who are still untouched by the injection, they are known as the resistance. Many of the resistance members have evolved to adapt to the change of the world. Some are now able to trick the human eye and brain. Others can persuade you into doing what they want. While some can feel other peoples emotions. Then there are those lucky enough to have the will power to fight off the injection after getting it, they are what we call immune. This is their story. This is our story. We are the resistance. Welcome to a world you don't know.
