SUN | MARCH 30 | 7:00 PM Yerushalayim Ge'ah Lehatzi Israel | 2007 | 80 min | Hebrew with English Subtitles Director/Writer: Nitzan Gilady New England Premiere Director Invited Panel Discussion Plans for a gay pride parade in Jerusalem in 2006 brought Jewish, Muslim, and Christian leaders together in violent opposition to the city’s homosexual activists and their supporters, who endured harassment, death threats, and days of rioting. This startling documentary unflinchingly exposes the increasing threat to human rights and democracy at the hands of extremists in contemporary Israel. A must see for those committed to the survival of a pluralistic Israel.
