VFHL December Film Salon

Voices From the Holy Land Film Series seeks to provide a voice to the people living in this Holy Land. It seeks to present informative and compelling documentary films by Israeli, Palestinian, American, and European film makers to start conversations. Through these films and associated discussions, we hope to inform the audience that:
Israel-Palestine history is often misunderstood
Life under occupation is difficult and unfair
Issues of justice and human-rights in Israel-Palestine are in the same continuum of the Civil-Rights struggles in our own country
Many Israelis know and understand that continued occupation is not the solution
Small groups of Israelis and Palestinians are coming together to promote peaceful solutions
US policies and US media have affected our understanding of the current “conflict”
There still reason to hope
Voices From the Holy Land Film Series is sponsored and supported by a coalition of over one hundred interfaith (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Unitarian) and interdenominational organizations nationwide whose members feel called by their faith to work for justice, human rights, and peace in the land that is holy to all three Abrahamic faiths.
