Begins Thursday, MARCH 21, 2024 @ 7:00pm PT

The eleventh annual Mideast Focus Film Series, now presented under the auspices of the Bishop's Committee for Justice and Peace in the Holy Land, will begin next week. As we watch with horror the continuing violence in the Holy Land, this year's selections will offer much-needed context and broader perspectives. The first offering will be the 2016 documentary The Settlers.

The film traces the history of Israeli settlements in the West Bank since 1967, using rarely-seen archival footage and candid interviews with the settlers themselves. Please view the film online at your convenience any time before March 21, and then join in the discussion with our speaker, Diane Paul from Amnesty International, on Thursday at 7 p.m. via Zoom. The film can be viewed on YouTube here. For more information or to request the link to participate online, send an email to: seattlemideastfocus@gmail.com
