Sunday Forum: West Bank Realities with Filmmaker David Wild

SUNDAY, MARCH 1, 10:10 A.M. in Bloedel Hall

Moderated by Dean Thomason

The Holy Land is complicated, and peace seems so far off. Yet anyone who visits is captivated by the people and place. David Wild says: “After years of watching films and reading about the situation in Israel/Palestine, I decided to visit on my own. It was a surprising trip — I met remarkable people and was by myself at the Holy Sites. Being a filmmaker, I had to make something, and I came back with a message for my friends in the form of a 12-minute film. The trip inspired me and changed my life.” We will then have a conversation, sharing our hopes and sorrows for the people who call this place home. All are welcome.

Note: Dean Thomason is planning a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 2027 if conditions on the ground allow, and he will share more about that during the forum.
