Film Screening and Discussion with Producer - "1913: Seeds of Conflict: How Things First Went Wrong in Palestine"

Producer Ben Loeterman will present the screening of his new film, "1913: Seeds of Conflict" and discuss the film afterwards. 5 p.m. in Hillel Multipurpose Room.

Most observers consider the Balfour Declaration and Mandate period of the 1920s as the origin of today’s Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Breaking new ground, 1913: SEEDS OF CONFLICT, a one-hour documentary directed by filmmaker Ben Loeterman, explores the divergent social forces growing in Palestine before World War I, when Arabs and Jews co-existed in harmony as Ottomans, each yearning for a land to call their own.

The event is sponsored by W&L Hillel and the departments of politics, religion and history.
