February 23 - Film: Shape of the Future

local church film series tackles Israeli-Palestinian issue

All Souls Unitarian Universalist church, 4501 Walnut, Kansas City, Missouri will show "The Shape of the Future" film as part of their Original Documentary film series. The film will be screened at 7:00 pm, Tuesday, February 23.

The Shape of the Future is a documentary series produced by Common Ground Productions that explores what an eventual Palestinian-Israeli peace settlement might look like. It even-handedly examines the aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians and demonstrates the possibility of a lasting, mutually satisfactory peace. Originally broadcast in Hebrew and Arabic on Israeli and Palestinian television, The Shape of the Future is now enjoying widespread international distribution.

This documentary series examines the fears and aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians in an even-handed way. It shows how a negotiated agreement could address those fears and do so without threatening the national existence of either side. Israel and Egypt were able to accomplish this task at Camp David more than 25 years ago and this series supports the belief that Israelis and Palestinians can do the same.
