Since June 1967, Israel has controlled, in one way or another, the lives of the Palestinians living in Israel, Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Over the course of fifty-six years, this control has become more sophisticated, more systematic, and harder to recognize. This documentary tells the story of eight brave people from different walks of life and backgrounds but with the same passion for seeking peace and justice for Palestinians.  The film was the idea of Joshua Vis, the Church Engagement Facilitator for Israel and Palestine for the Reformed Church in America. Joshua hosts immersion tours to Israel/Palestine. Vis said, “I’d been working in the area, bringing people for years to meet with these incredible people. What they had to share is so important, I asked myself, ‘How can we amplify their voices?’” The Law and the Prophets does exactly that!

Central Okanagan United Church and the Kelowna Muslim Women chapter are hosting this screening.
