The Other premieres at the Boston International Film Festival on April 12th, featuring a panel with Director/Filmmaker Joy Sela, Nobel Peace Prize nominated activist from Combatants for Peace, Sulaiman Khatib, acclaimed hip-hop group System Ali’s, Neta Weiner and Samira Saraya, including a live performance by System Ali- made possible with support from Albi: A new initiative supporting culture as a vehicle for change.

Filmed from 2017-2023, The Other focuses on Israeli & Palestinian peace-builders, anti-occupation activists, artists, academics, ex-fighters, bereaved parents, and many more living the reality on the ground. Whether in non-violent co-resistance, peace-building, or shared community, we witness those who have only known each other through hate, bloodshed, inequality, and war, transcend beyond narratives & belief systems. They teach us that unlearning deep-seated conditioning is possible and that we can liberate ourselves from generational trauma, hatred and fear—no matter how ingrained and legitimate those fears are.
