Upcoming events at the Multaka-Mifgash

The Multaka-Mifgash presents: screening of the movie ‘My Neighbourhood’and a talk with Moriel Rothman of Just Vision [2012, 25 minutes].

On Monday, April 29^th 2013, at the Multaka-Mifgash, NCF’s Arab-Jewish culture center, Number 7 King Solomon St. (Shlomo Hamelech), Be’er-Sheva.

Mohammed El Kurd is a Palestinian boy growing up in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in the heart of East Jerusalem. When Mohammed turns 11, his family is forced to give up part of their home to Israeli settlers, who are leading a campaign of court-sanctioned evictions to guarantee Jewish control of the area.
Shortly after their displacement, Mohammed’s family and other residents begin peacefully protesting against the evictions, determined not to lose their homes for good. In a surprising turn, they are quickly joined by scores of Israeli supporters who are horrified to see what is being done in their name. Among them is Jewish West Jerusalem resident Zvi Benninga and his sister Sara, who develop a strong relationship with Mohammed and his family as they take on a leading role in organizing the protests.

‘My Neighbourhood’ is directed and produced by Rebekah Wingert-Jabi, who documented Mohammed’s story over two years, and acclaimed filmmaker Julia Bacha.
