Our Film Series this year comes at a time of much despair about being able to make things better, even hopeful, for Palestinians. In the church we pray for forgiveness for “The evil that is done on our behalf” but it is not enough.
This year we continue to lift the stories of Palestinians who are daily suffering from injustice and the actions of Israelis and Americans. We invite you to join us in bearing witness to that suffering and in resistance to the “evil” being done on our behalf. Let us shine a light on the truth of their stories!
