Screening: My Neighbourhood + extended Q&A with Julia Bacha

This screening will be followed by an extended Q&A with director Julia Bacha.

When Israeli activists arrive to protest the takeover of the East Jerusalem half of Mohammed El Kurd’s home, the Palestinian teenager comes of age in the face of continuous tension and unexpected cooperation in his backyard.

My Neighbourhood goes beyond the headlines that normally dominate discussions of Jerusalem and captures the rarely heard voices of those striving for a shared future in the city.

The screening of this 25-minute documentary will be followed by an extended Q&A with award-winning director Julia Bacha and Executive Director of Just Vision Ronit Avni. During the Q&A video portraits taken from the Home Front series will also be shown.
