Dear friends,
This year No Other Land, the film documenting the destruction of Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, won an Oscar. Despite this, no US distributor has been willing to pick up the film. As far we know, no theater in Raleigh has shown the film.
 
We believe this is an important film that deserves our attention and our action. As such, Raleigh Mennonite has purchased a viewing of the film on June 26 at 7 PM. We would like to extend the invitation to your communities. We will show the film at Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, 121 Hillsborough St in downtown Raleigh.
 
Because this is the only showing in Raleigh and seating is limited, we’re asking that each person reserves a ticket here.
Here’s a description of the film:

Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta on the West Bank, has been fighting the mass expulsion of his community by Israel’s occupation since childhood. He documents the slow-motion eradication of the villages in his home region where soldiers deployed by the Israeli government are gradually demolishing houses and driving out their residents. At some point, he meets Yuval, an Israeli journalist, who supports him in his efforts. An unlikely alliance develops. But the relationship between the two is strained by the enormous inequality between them: Basel lives under military occupation while Yuval lives freely and without restrictions.

This film by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists has been made as an act of creative resistance on the path to greater justice.
