'The Other Son' Trailer: Israel-Palestine Conflict Play Out In Family Drama (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO)

EXCLUSIVE: Watch The First Trailer For 'The Other Son'

Having children switched at birth is difficult enough for the families involved, but imagine if the hospital mix-up wound up unmooring the parents' core beliefs. That's the conceit of "The Other Son," which tells the story of two families -- one Israeli and one Palestinian -- whose sons were accidentally swapped at birth.

Directed by French filmmaker Lorraine Lévy, "The Other Son" stars a multi-national troupe of actors -- Emmanuelle Devos, Pascal Elbé, Jules Sitruk, Mehdi Dehbi, Areen Omari, Khalifa Natour, Mahmood Shalabi and. Bruno Podalydes -- something Lévy felt should extend to the crew as well.

"We wanted it to be a project that brought people together," the director said in press notes. "I asked our Israeli executive producer to give a copy of the screenplay (translated into English) to each of the crew members. It was very important to me that the electrician or grip working on this film knew exactly what he or she was involved in, so they could be on board with the project, in full knowledge."

HuffPost Entertainment is pleased to debut the first trailer for "The Other Son," which you can watch above. The film was acquired for U.S. distribution by Cohen Media Group and will arrive in theaters on Oct. 26.
