Roadmap to Apartheid (2012) Voices of Palestine Film Series

Roadmap to Apartheid (2012) is the fourth film in the Voices of Palestine Film Series. In this 90-minute documentary, the directors take a detailed look at the apartheid analogy commonly used to describe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Ana Nogueira is a white South African and Eron Davidson a Jewish Israeli. Drawing on their first-hand knowledge of the issues, the producers take a close look at the apartheid comparison often used to describe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Their film breaks down the rhetorical analogy into a fact-based comparison, noting where the analogy is useful and appropriate, and where it is not. There are many lessons to draw from the South African experience relevant to conflicts all over the world. This film is as much a historical document of the rise and fall of apartheid, as it is a film about why many Palestinians feel they are living in an apartheid system today, and why an increasing number of people around the world agree with them.

The screening will be followed by brief comments from discussants, Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly (African American Studies), mark wenzel (Philosophy), and Haneen Hamideh (Wayne Law Students for Justice in Palestine), as well as dialogue with the audience.

This event is free and open to the public. The film series continues to be a source of connection, education, and solidarity building. The conversation and action that these films and discussions generate are crucial. Help us spread the word!
