Voices from the Holy Land, in conjunction with Independent Jewish Voices – Canada and Jewish Voice for Peace (USA), invites you to our nineteenth monthly Online Film Salon to be held on Sunday, November 14th at 3 pm EDT/12 noon PDT. Participants will discuss the award-winning documentary 1948: Creation and Catastrophe. Please watch these films at your convenience and then join us for the online Q&A discussion.
1948 was a seminal year in the life of Israel and Palestine. It was the year of the creation of a new nation state for some people, and the beginning of a generations-long catastrophe for others.

About 1948: Creation and Catastrophe
Through riveting and moving personal recollections of both Palestinians and Israelis, 1948: CREATION AND CATASTROPHE reveals the shocking events of the most pivotal year in the most controversial conflict in the world. It tells the story of the establishment of Israel as seen through the eyes of the people who lived it. It is simply not possible to make sense of what is happening in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today without an understanding of 1948. This documentary was probably the last chance for many elderly Israelis and Palestinians to narrate their first-hand accounts of the creation of a state and the expulsion of a nation.
