The Two Sided Story
November 13, 2016 1:45 pm
Temple B'nai Israel

This film follows a group of 27 Palestinians and Israelis who meet under the frame of a unique project called "History through the Human Eye" led by Parents Circle-Families Forum - bereaved Palestinian and Israelis for Peace and Reconciliation. The project's goal is to acknowledge the narrative of the other. Together they create the conflict mosaic. Outside the room, participants may be considered enemies. Inside the room, they share their personal experiences along with historical and political interpretation to key events.

This is a free event, but please RSVP so that we can plan for refreshments and seating.

The mission of the Jewish/Muslim Film Institute is to bring diverse groups together to share films that will inspire dialogue and help Jews, Muslims and everyone realize that we are more alike than different.
