The movie follows two young American Jews raised to unconditionally love
Israel whose lives take sharp left turns when they witness the brutal
way Israel treats Palestinians. They join a movement of young American
Jews battling the old guard to redefine Judaism’s relationship with
Israel, revealing a deepening generational divide over modern Jewish
identity.

This event will be a fundraiser for the Rebuilding Alliance, which has
been active in Palestine for decades and is one of the few organizations
providing aid to Palestinians in Gaza right now. It was founded in 2003
by Rachel Corrie’s parents, following the murder of the young activist
by the Israeli army. In their own words, “Rebuilding Alliance is
dedicated to advancing equal rights for Palestinians through education,
advocacy, and support that assures Palestinian families the right to a
home, schooling, economic security, safety, and a promising future.”

The event is organized in collaboration with the Northern Virginia
chapter of Democratic Socialists for America, the Alexandria for
Palestine coalition, and the Arlington for Palestine coalition.
