BRUNSWICK: 19 April: God's Chosen People: Film Screening

About the Film

God’s Chosen People is a powerful investigative documentary by Australian filmmaker and activist Ahmed Bassal.

Through verified reporting, archival footage, and carefully sourced material from international media outlets, the film examines a series of documented incidents involving the Israeli government and the Israeli Defence Forces. Each story is presented with references and evidence, allowing the viewer to confront the facts directly.

Rather than delivering slogans or political talking points, the film simply lays out the record. What happened. Who reported it. And what the world saw.

Across multiple case studies, the audience is invited to reflect on a deeper moral question that has echoed through history:

If a nation claims divine status… what standard should its actions be measured by?

The film does not ask the audience to accept an opinion. It asks them to examine the evidence.
