DESCRIPTION:OCCUPATION HAS NO FUTURE:\nMilitarism + Resistance in 
 Israel/Palestine\n\nFriday, April 1st -- 4PM\n\nUniversity of San Francisco 
 Presentation Theater\n2350 Turk Blvd. @ Masonic\n\n-----\nThis screening is 
 part of the University of San Francisco Human Rights Film Festival and will 
 feature a post-screening discussion with director David Zlutnick. 
 \n-----\n\nSynopsis:\n\nIn the Fall of 2009 a group of US veterans and war 
 resisters traveled to Israel/Palestine to meet with their Israeli 
 counterparts in an effort to strengthen connections and share experiences. 
 Occupation Has No Future uses this 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\n-----\n***Also, at 2pm, preceding OHNF, the acclaimed film 
 Budrus will be screened, a documentary about the popular struggle against 
 the apartheid wall in the West Bank village of Budrus.\n\nTO VIEW A TRAILER
