Letter To My Tribe addresses a question: Why don’t more Jews and Israelis speak out about Palestine?
Over many years my mother and I have had numerous arguments which form the backbone of this video essay.
Interviews with journalists, activists and a rabbi are interwoven with documentation of actions in the West Bank, family histories and journeys to Iraq and to Poland.
b.h. Yael will be present a Q&A will follow the screening.
