About ‘THE OTHER’ by Director Joy Sela:
A documentary exploring the complex relationship between Israelis and Palestinians- and the transformative journey that follows when they are faced with meeting ‘the other’ amidst the difficulty of the extreme violence, military occupation, inequality and propaganda.- providing an extraordinary example of what we are all capable of as humans.  It speaks to overcoming dehumanization, propaganda, trauma and "othering", and people's moral courage, risk, vulnerability and commitment to seek the messy complexity of the truth. 

Bashar Alshawwa, a national leader in Canada Friends of Standing Together will be introducing the film by Zoom.  Alshawwa is a Palestinian from Gaza, living in Canada since mid-2024.  He is a distinguished researcher and an expert in regional and international political affairs, specializing in conflict resolution, sustainable development, human rights, and advocacy.
