In the midst of darkness, we discover who we truly are. There is Another Way tells the story of a group of visionaries who refuse to surrender to violence and injustice, and in doing so, show that another path is possible - for them, for us, and for all humanity. As we are all faced with essential questions about who we are, will we choose collective liberation, where the needs, rights, and safety of all are prioritized - in which our humanity comes first, knowing that no one is free until everyone is free?
Combatants for Peace, nominated for two Nobel Peace Prizes, is an extraordinary bi-national group of former enemy combatants - Israelis and Palestinians - working together during an ongoing armed conflict. Introduced to the world through the 2016 film Disturbing the Peace, they are faced with the devastation and escalating violence of October 7th and the war in Gaza. The very core of the movement must face great challenges and show that there is another way. The first question they have to face is their own beliefs this possible?
Registration is required. The $10 fee includes the film, popcorn, and additional refreshments. We also request that you bring a dish that can feed about 8 people. The doors open at 12:30 pm.
