The Tallahassee Jewish Federation is pleased to present The Settlers as our next film in the 2017 Jewish film series.
Cameras go inside the reclusive West Bank settlements for an up close and personal look at the controversial movement at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in The Settlers.
The Settlers explores the history of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, why people moved there, and why there is so much turmoil. Documenting the history of the settlement movement from its ideological, economic, and political beginnings to current-day conditions, Israeli filmmaker Shimon Dotan shows the daily lives of settlers and the role of messianic idealists. The results will leave viewers questioning almost everything: the government’s role, racism, border security, and whether a two-state solution can ever be achieved.
The Settlers was nominated for the Israeli Academy Award for Best Documentary, as well as the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival.
