Join us to watch the brand new documentary "Light", a film from Palestine which explores the injustice and grief of Israeli occupation but also aims to shed light on the way Palestinian people continue to find hope.From director Ahmad Abu Monshar: “Throughout my life, the adversary’s voice has often drowned out other narratives. However, today, in the making of this film, our intent is to change the prevailing narrative and offer survivors a poignant space to articulate their experiences, casting a powerful spotlight on two distinct stories—one from Tel Rumeida and another from South Hebron Hills,” says Abu Monshar. “In these narratives, we seek to unearth the subtle nuances of hope within the shadows of darkness. Since 1948, the narrative has predominantly favoured the Israeli story, leaving little room for those silently grappling with pain. It is now, unequivocally, the time to listen.”
We will have dinner from 6pm, screen the film at 7, and then have a Q&A session with director Ahmad Abu Monshar live from the West Bank.
Suggest donation $10-20. All funds raised will go to the work of Community Peacemaker Teams in Palestine.
Taking place on Jagera and Turrbal country.
