On November 28th at 7:30pm ET, Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) and Cinema Politica warmly welcome you to a film screening of Deir Yassin Remembered, followed by a discussion with director and IJV member b.h. Yael.
About the film
Deir Yassin Remembered, 28 minutes, considers the repercussions of a largely forgotten massacre of approximately 100 Palestinians in 1948. The massacre at Deir Yassin was pivotal to Palestinian dispossession. Though Deir Yassin has been partially acknowledged by Israelis, many other massacres of the time have not. The video not only gives an account of what happened at Deir Yassin, but also argues for the need of acknowledgement of the ongoing Nakba and for commemoration.
Deir Yassin Remembered is one of three videos in a series titled Palestine Trilogy that present Palestinian, Israeli and International activists who work together in various groups and projects that attempt to address the historic and contemporary repercussions of Israel’s occupation and colonization of land. These are but a few of the many activists who work, and who are not often represented in mainstream media images.
