Speed Cinema Screening: Disturbing the Peace

Speed Cinema Presents: Disturbing the Peace

Thursday, February 23, 7 p.m.

Speed Art Museum Cinema

Directed by Stephen Apkon and Andrew Young

This compelling documentary follows former combatants–Israeli soldiers from elite units and Palestinian fighters, many of whom served years in prison–who have joined together to challenge the status quo and say: “Enough." Representatives from both sides join together to form Combatants for Peace, a nonviolent group that uses dialogue and the arts to find compassion and empathy to work towards their goal of ending the conflict. Winner of Ebert Humanitarian Award; nominated for best documentary at Jerusalem Film Festival. 2016, U.S., DCP, 87 minutes. Recommended for 13+.
