Screening of “The Other” in Bangor

Mark May 8 on your calendar to see the amazing award- winning documentary The Other. This film takes us into the complex relationship of shared humanity, culture and connection between Israelis & Palestinians—and the transformative journey that follows when they are faced with meeting ‘the other’ amidst the difficulty of the conflict & occupation—providing an extraordinary example of what we are all capable of as humans. Filmed from 2017-2024, including post October 7th and during the subsequent war, The Other focuses on Israeli and Palestinian peace-builders, anti-occupation activists, artists, academics, ex-fighters, bereaved parents, and many more living the reality on the ground.

The screening will be at the Bangor Public Library on Thursday, 145 Harlow St. on May 8. Doors open with light refreshments at 5:30. Film begins at 6:00. The film is free and donations to cover the costs are most welcome.

The screening is sponsored by the Maine Jewish Film Festival and Keshev, a group of Maine Jews committed to working for a lasting peace in Israel and Palestine, in which both Israelis and Palestinians can live with full democratic and civil rights in peace, freedom, dignity, and safety.
