Please share this invite with friends who might be interested. We want to encourage as much learning, discussion and sharing of knowledge as possible.

Email us at DissPS@protonmail.com to reserve a seat or two.

What:

The Settlers (2016 documentary)

Synopsis (taken from Human Rights Watch Film Festival):

The Settlers cracks open the world of Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank: their daily lives, their worldviews, and their position within Israel. With uninhibited access, the film captures the casual zealotry, racism, and untroubled certainty of many settlers in this contentious and controversial space. The existence and development of Israeli settlements in the West Bank is complex and elusive, and increasingly wild and tragic. Along with personal profiles, Dotan unpacks the history of the settlements, laying out the facts with extraordinary care and lucidity, to allow us to see the progression of actions and reactions that have led to the current volatile situation.

“The Settlers shows intimate portraits of people who are charismatic, idealistic, family-oriented, and deeply racist - and it does so in a way that shows their complexity and the complexity of the context.” - Sari Bashi, Israel/Palestine advocacy director, Human Rights Watch

Trailer:

Film length:

110 mins

The Corn Hall Cafe will be open as normal before the film but closed by the time we finish.  Please bring water with you if you think you might need it during the screening.

We hope our screenings will increase our knowledge and understanding and do so in a community setting rather than isolated in our own homes.  There will be time to gently chat among ourselves after the film if we wish; no need to rush out if you just want to sit for a while.
