Dear
Dick, |
Learn
more below about this year's incredible film line-up. All films will be
screened virtually with panel discussions held live on Zoom from March 9-23. | |

Israelism:
Released in 2023, this headline-making film uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes
towards Israel are changing dramatically, with massive consequences for the
region. Two young American Jews – Simone Zimmerman and Eitan – are raised to
defend the state of Israel at all costs. Eitan joins the Israeli military.
Simone supports Israel on ‘the other battlefield:’ America’s college
campuses. When they witness Israel’s mistreatment of the Palestinian people
with their own eyes, they are horrified and heartbroken. Simone
Zimmerman, who is featured in the film, will be joining us for the
panel discussion. Simone is a Jewish American activist and a Co-Founder of
IfNotNow Movement. The panel will be moderated by Rachel Small,
WBW's Canada Organizer and a founding member of the Jews Say No to Genocide
Coalition, which has mobilized thousands of Jews to take action against
Israeli state violence and Canadian complicity in it since October 2023. | |

Naila
and The Uprising (2017): When a
nationwide uprising breaks out in 1987, a woman in Gaza must choose between
love, family, and freedom. Undaunted, she embraces all three, joining a
clandestine network of women in an inspiring story that weaves through the
most vibrant, nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history – the First
Intifada. The
film was produced by Just Vision's Education and Public Engagement
Manager, Rula Salameh, who will join us for the panel discussion
in conversation with Jordana Rubenstein-Edberg, Just Vision's
Public Engagement Associate. Just Vision is an organization that fills a
media gap in Israel-Palestine through independent storytelling and strategic
audience engagement. | |

As
news reports remind us on a daily basis, violence and war are having a
devastating effect on countries, communities, and individuals across the
world. This hour-long documentary Power on Patrol (2022)
from the Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom (WILPF) sheds
light on the concept of militarised masculinities as a key driver of this
conflict and aggression, the ways it manifests itself in conflict societies,
how it is sustained and spotlights the stories of the male allies doing vital
work alongside female activists to achieve equitable peace. The
panel discussion will be moderated by WBW's Africa Organizer Guy
Feugap (who is also featured in the film!) with panelists Oswaldo
Montoya of the MenEngage Alliance, Hareer Hashim of
WILPF's Afghanistan section, and Reem Abbas, Communications
Coordinator for WILPF's Mobilising Men for Feminist Peace Programme. |
Hope
you can join us for this year's "Women & War" virtual film
fest! |
