DESCRIPTION:The film screening will be followed by a discussion with the film director 
 Ahmad Damen.  \n\nSince the early centuries of Christianity, pilgrims have 
 journeyed to the Holy Land to visit sites connected to the ministry of 
 Jesus. Today, Israel promotes its control of these sacred areas as a divine 
 blessing for Christians worldwide. However, the biblical routes cherished 
 by various religious sects are increasingly being abandoned. Pilgrims from 
 around the globe are often misled by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism and 
 related agencies. Meanwhile, native Palestinian Christians face a new era 
 of persecution. Beyond daily harassment, vandalism, and even the killing of 
 pastors by Israeli gangs, they are further oppressed by the separation wall 
 and checkpoints that fragment their country and restrict their freedom. 
 Many see this as an effort by the Israeli government to depopulate the Holy 
 Land of its indigenous 
 inhabitants.\n\n=================================================================\n\nCALL
