 FUTURE:\nMILITARISM + RESISTANCE IN ISRAEL/PALESTINE\n\nA new documentary

 and Palestinians organizing against militarism and occupation.\n\nFEATURING 
 INTERVIEWS WITH:\n- Former IDF Soldiers\n- Israeli Conscientious

 3RD--\nDoors @ 7PM, Film @ 7:30PM\n\nSAN FRANCISCO--\nWAR VETERANS MEMORIAL 
 BUILDING\n401 Van Ness Ave. @ McAllister\n\nFeaturing a discussion w/ 
 director David Zlutnick and members of the Dialogues Against Militarism 
 delegation that inspired the film.\n\nIn the Fall of 2009 a group of war 
 resisters and veteran organizers from San Francisco traveled to 
 Israel/Palestine to meet with their Israeli counterparts in an effort to 
 strengthen connections and share experiences. The group, calling itself 
 Dialogues Against Militarism (DAM), partnered with David Zlutnick, a local 
 filmmaker, to ensure that the voices and stories of those they spoke with 
 would be captured and return with them to the United States. \n\nOccupation 
 Has No Future is the result, and uses DAM's trip as a lens to study Israeli 
 militarism, examine the occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, and 
 explore the work of Israelis and Palestinians organizing against militarism 
 and occupation.\n\nThrough conversations with Israeli conscientious 
 objectors, former soldiers, and Palestinians living under occupation, 
 Occupation Has No Future creates a survey of the current atmosphere in the 
 State of Israel and the West Bank. The film explores the Israeli social 
 environment that creates such heightened militarism and leads to attitudes 
 of fear, exclusion, racism, and ultimately aggression; and examines the 
 consequences of Israeli policies both for the Palestinian people as well as 
 for Israeli civil society.\n\nAdditionally, this documentary looks at the 
 Israeli anti-militarist movement and those Israeli youth refusing 
 conscription, refusing orders, and choosing to partner with a growing 
 grassroots Palestinian campaign of civil disobedience to defeat the 
 occupation. Honest about the extremely daunting challenges, Occupation Has 
 No Future ultimately tracks the hope of a growing number of Israelis and 
 Palestinians to live together, free from occupation, with peace and 
 justice.\n\nFOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO VIEW A TRAILER PLEASE
