Join the Social Action Committee for a virtual viewing of 1913: Seeds of Conflict (2015), a one-hour documentary about Palestine during the latter part of the Ottoman Empire. Filmmaker Ben Loeterman argues that this was a time of relative harmony between Arabs and Jews. 1913 addresses the question of how this land of milk and honey, so diverse and rich in culture, become the site of today’s bitter and seemingly intractable struggle.

The screening will be followed by a discussion led by civics educator Ati Waldman.
