Genocide, Resistance, Complicity. 73 minutes long.

From the makers of “Palestine Under Siege”, “Dare to Struggles” latest film, takes us on a journey through the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem that, through Palestinian eyes, profiles life living under Israeli occupation. Much of the film was shot in 2023 by the Dare to Struggle Film unit. It followed a Jewish University  professor, an ex-politician and a Palestinian Australian student activist who were investigating Israel’s settler colonial apartheid society. Through visiting Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem, Silwan and Nabi Samwil the film gives an account of life under Israeli occupation prior to Hamas’s jail breakout.

In 2024 “Dare to Struggle” partnered with the “Hebron Human Rights Defenders” who throughout the year gathered footage of Palestinian life and of Israeli aggression against Palestinians. They also conducted interviews as a reflection of life for Palestinians after October 7th.  The screenings we are organising are also opportunities to fund raise for the Hebron Human Rights Defenders. We request that after the organisation organising the screening has taken out its costs that at least 25 per cent of the money raised goes to the Hebron Human Rights Defenders. We suggest that the other 75 per cent is donated to groups in Gaza, the West Bank or here that are engaged in Palestinian solidarity work. 

The film also looks at Australia’s complicity with Israel, particularly through Australia’s commitment to reinvigorating its manufacturing base by integrating into the US military supply chain. It also touches on the mainstream media and how the Zionist lobby has managed to control the information that is presented via these channels. This film goes way beyond how mainstream media portrays Israel. It is a film well worth seeing.
