FILM MAKER SHOWS FILM, DISCUSSES NON-VIOLENT APPROACH TO PALESTINE-ISRAEL CONFLICT
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.
Monday, April 7: interviewed Mark Johnson, on the Mark Johnson Show, at WDEV (96.1 FM and 550 AM), 10:15 – 11:00 a.m.
Wednesday, April 9: Fletcher Free Library, 235 College St., Burlington, 6 to 8 p.m.
Thursday, April 10: First Congregation Church, 38 South Winooski Ave., Burlington, 5:45 p.m. to 8 p.m - potluck.
Friday, April 11: Cathedral of St. Paul’s Church, 2 Cherry Street, Burlington, Vermont, 7:30 to 9 p.m.
Saturday, April 12: ArtsRiot, 400 Pine Street, Burlington, 6 to 7:45 p.m. Co-sponsored by the Vermont International Film Foundation (www.vtiff.org).
Through personal testimonies, family photos and historical footage, the film 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, Christians and Muslims in the Middle East have urged us in the U.S. to respond to the ever-worsening Israeli occupation. We believe 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.
