Christ Presbyterian Church, 944 E Gorham, 5 pm, RSVP Required

UPDATE – We are very sorry, but we can’t screen No Other Land on June 8. The US distributor for the film can no longer sell public performance rights because the film is going to a streaming service, MUBI. But MUBI isn’t offering it yet for home viewing or public performance.  We will try to organize another Madison screening when we can. On June 8, we’ll screen another documentary about the occupied West Bank. 

Madison Anti-War Film Series & Christ Presbyterian Church present:

Sarura: The Future is an Unknown Place (2022).  Sunday, June 8, at 5 pm at Christ Presbyterian Church, 944 E Gorham. Please fill out this form to RSVP. We will check you in for the film by your name on the RSVP list; no ticket is needed.

About the film:

At the gates of the Negev desert, a group of young Palestinians fight against the Israeli military occupation. “Youth of Sumud” – the youth of steadfast perseverance – try to return to their people the land that was taken from their families, restructuring the ancient cave village of Sarura.

They face aggression with nonviolent action, defending themselves from rifles with their video cameras; they oppose desolation and death with hope and life.

Ten years after their first documentary on the nonviolent struggle in the West Bank, the directors return to the village of At-Tuwani and, using archival material more than 15 years old, tell how the children have grown up.
