UNDERSTANDING GAZA SERIES

Film: Wrestling Jerusalem

(Dylan Kussman, 2016, 90 min, USA)

Writer-actor Aaron Davidman conjures a host of different characters while seeking answers to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He takes a multidimensional journey into the heart of the Middle East, and the intersection of politics, identity and spiritual yearning. He embodies and gives voice to 17 different characters on all sides of the existential divide – deftly moving between male and female, Jewish and Muslim, Israeli and Arab – modeling what it takes truly to bear witness through the eyes of the other, challenging long-held beliefs with sharp and unblinking observation.

Music by Mark Levy, singer, songwriter.

Co-sponsors: Resource Center for Nonviolence, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom-Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz for Bernie, Palestine Justice Committee.
