GRIFFITH UNI DOCUMENTARY SCREENING and DISCUSSION
There are now more than 200 settlements and outposts scattered throughout the West Bank blocking the geographic possibility of a contiguous Palestinian territory. The Iron Wall documentary exposes this phenomenon and follows the timeline, size, population of the settlements, and its impact on the peace process. This film also touches on the latest project to make the settlements a permanent fact on the ground – the wall that Israel is building in the West Bank and its impact on the Palestinian people.
The documentary screening will be followed by questions and discussion with Kim Bullimore.
Tues October 7, 12 noon
Northern Theatres (Building N29), Theatre 4, Griffith Uni (Nathan Campus)
