Screening of award-winning documentary

‘Roadmap to Apartheid’ (90 mins, 2012) directed by South African Ana Nogueira and Israeli Eron Davidson

This film is both an astute work of political analysis and a gripping historical account of the human cost of regimes of ethnic separation. In ‘Roadmap to Apartheid striking parallels emerge in accounts of the rise and implementation of the Apartheid system in South Africa and the systematic segregation and oppression of Palestinians in Israel. Narrated by Alice Walker (author of The Color Purple), the film interweaves archive footage from South Africa and Israel/Palestine, with interviewees from both countries considering why the Apartheid analogy is so important for understanding the Israeli context. While the film presents a stark picture of the present within Israel and the territories it controls, it also offers hope by looking to the peace that South Africa eventually found. Timely and powerful.

 

“Roadmap To Apartheid is very powerful and compelling.”

“I go and I visit the Holy Land and I see things that are a mirror image of the sort of things I experienced under the apartheid.”

Archbishop Desmond Tutu

There will be time for a short discussion after the film
