The Lexi Cinema will be screening the film Open Bethlehem on Sunday afternoon folowed by a discussion with the director.

Documentary director Leila Sansour returned to her home town
of Bethlehem and was shocked by what she found. Arriving as
the Israeli government was building a massive wall to separate
the already depleted Palestinian city from its populous Jewish
neighbours, she bears witness to its impact. From dirt-poor
farmers whose olive groves were maliciously cut down, to
families whose homes were razed to make way for the wall, the
effects are unflinchingly recorded. Yet as a background to the
intractable conflict, her film also observes the deep
spirituality that is Bethlehem’s enduring legacy.
