Summary:
A distraught Palestinian doctor processing his son's suicide finds common ground with the Israeli investigator who lost his best friend in the attack. When an explosion devastates a peaceful neighborhood, Dr. Rami Amar receives news his son was the perpetrator. Shocked by their son's apparent radicalization, Dr. Amar and his wife, Lyda struggle to make sense of their loss, which is further intensified by the investigator, Major Shani of the Israeli Defense Forces. For Shani, this is personal. His childhood friend was killed in the attack. Following protocol, Shani confiscates Dr. Amar's travel documents and destroys his home, and the undercurrent of distrust between the two men is unmistakable. With only questions and no answers, Dr. Amar decides to fix up a dilapidated local school to get the stone-throwing youths off the streets and into the classroom. But when it's impossible to acquire proper supplies, he turns to an unlikely source of help: Major Shani. To keep the students in school, learning lessons of peace, not hate, Dr. Amar promises after-school soccer matches. However, to keep his word, Dr. Amar needs even more help from Shani to break through a seemingly unmovable obstacle. Will Dr. Amar ever find out what really happened to his son? Will the men be able to unite for a common cause, or does the pain of past events run too deep?

Summary:
Justine Holmes is a widow, former activist, and funeral thief, mourning her husband's death during the aftermath of the Ferguson unrest in St. Louis, Missouri. As family tensions deepen between Justine and her three grown children - a former Bay Area activist at odds with her hometown's customs, a social climbing realtor stifled by the loss of her only child, and a disillusioned politician struggling with his sexual identity, the matriarch is forced to face her grief head-on. By reconciling a past tied to her secret involvement in civil rights activism during the early 1970's in St. Louis, Justine quickly learns the more she attempts to make peace with her history, the more skeletons continue to rise to the surface.  Set in a struggling suburb of North St. Louis during the Ferguson unrest in 2014, Bone Broth delivers the touchstones of an inequitable society: violence, suppression, and the human capacity to continue in the face of extreme adversity.
