Description:
The Other, filmed from 2017 to 2024, captures the lives and resilience of Israeli and Palestinian peace-builders, artists, activists, ex-fighters, bereaved families, and other citizens who face the realities of life in conflict. Through shared, non-violent community efforts, individuals once defined by hate and war move beyond entrenched narratives and deep-seated conditioning to inspire transformative change and break generational cycles of trauma and fear.
Buy tickets to the screening (March 30, 1:30 p.m.), which will be followed by a discussion between Prof. Elie Rekhess, Director of the Israel Innovation Project, and Joy Sela, Director of the film.
