Make Hummus Not War plot

When the 'hummus war' broke out in 2008 between Israel, Lebanon and Palestine, filmmaker Trevor Graham decided to make a documentary on the subject. Hummus is an ancient dish that has been prepared since time immemorial. Israelis, Lebanese, Syrians and Egyptians all claim it as their own dish. We follow Graham as he travels through the hummus bars and kitchens of Beirut, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and New York. Along the way, he meets well-known gastronomes and people for whom hummus is a religious obsession.
