Dr. Alice Rothchild is an American-Jewish physician, author and activist from Boston, Massachusetts. Her new film, Voices Across the Divide, is a moving documentary and oral history of Palestinian refugees in the U.S. She will be in Vermont next week, speaking and showing her film.Through personal testimonies, family photos and historical footage, Voices Across the Divide illuminates the forgotten history of the Palestinian people.
Dr. Rothchild has many years of personal experience in Israel/Palestine, and her approach to the conflict is grounded in empathy and forgiveness, coupled with an appreciation of the urgent need for political action. In light of ongoing political developments, Dr. Rothchild’s film and her experiences leading health and human rights delegations to Israel/Palestine can offer compelling insights into how we can work nonviolently and compassionately for a just peace for all in the Holy Land.
