Film Screening: The Promised Band

This documentary follows a group of Israeli and Palestinian women who form a fake rock band in order to meet and socialize. They forge connections across cultures, religion, and physical and political borders, learn how to become a band, and continually place themselves in jeopardy as they place their human similarities above the differences ingrained by decades of divide. Following the film, Hands of Peace Program Director Julia Duerst will facilitate a Q&A with the film’s creators Jen Heck and Maria De La O.
