Israeli Jew, Palestinian Christian, Palestinian Muslim on University Tour /Non-violent Peace MovementLittle Town of Bethlehem University Tourby Diane Morrow Wednesday, July 21, 2010
There is no shortage of opinions, emotions, and actions regarding finding “peace in the Middle East.” While some are familiar with the issue, some personally impacted by the conflict, many more are unaware, uninformed, and unconcerned about this critical global issue. This fall a ground breaking film, Little Town of Bethlehem will share the gripping story of a Palestinian Muslim, a Palestinian Christian, and an Israeli Jew—born into violence and willing to risk everything to bring an end to violence in their lifetime.
The protagonists will be part of a university tour discussing the non-violent peace movement. The lecture series includes Boston College, George Washington University, Georgetown, University of Rhode Island, The National Cathedral, De Paul University and UC Berkley. More about the film: Sami Awad is a Palestinian Christian whose grandfather was killed in Jerusalem in 1948. Today he is the executive director of Holy Land Trust, a non-profit organization that promotes Palestinian independence through peaceful means. Yonatan Shapira is an Israeli Jew whose grandparents were Zionist settlers who witnessed the birth of the Israeli nation. Today he is an outspoken advocate for the non-violent peace movement, both in his homeland and abroad. Ahmad Al' Azza is a Palestinian Muslim who has lived his entire life in the Azzah refugee camp in Bethlehem. Today, Ahmad heads the non-violence program at Holy Land Trust, where he trains others in the methods of peaceful activism. Little Town of Bethlehem was produced by EthnoGraphic Media (EGM), an educational non-profit organization exploring the critical issues of our time.
