 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
