Nichols College is participating in a national program to screen this film in connection with the National Day of Peace on September 21.  Our screening on September 22 is a local premiere.

Little town of Bethlehem, a documentary film, follows the story of three men of three different faiths and their lives in Israel and Palestine.  The story explores each man’s choice of nonviolent action amidst a culture of overwhelming violence.

Their three stories are interwoven through the major events of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, starting with the 1972 massacre at the Munich Olympics and following through the first Intifada, suicide bombings in Israel, the Oslo Acords, the assassination of Yitzchak Rabin, and the second Intifada. Sami, Yonatan, and Ahmad each describe the events from their unique perspective, interjecting personal relfections and explaining how these events led them to become involved in the nonviolence movement.

All three men have had their lives threatened by members of their own communities as a result of their work.  Sami, Yonatan, and Ahmad continue to embrace their common humanitiy and equality for all, daring to have the hope that peace in the Holy Land can be achieved through nonviolent struggle. 

As the U.S. approaches the opening of peace negotiations once again in the region, this film can add a level of historical background to better understand the issues at stake.

In honor of National United Nations Day, we are presenting this award-winning film.

This contemporary documentary narrated by Actor and UN Messenger for Peace Michael Douglas gives us an uplifting look at the current geopolitical state of the world: contrary to popular belief, there are actually less armed conflicts in the world today and less people dying of violent deaths than ever before. The world is changing fast as it is confronted with climate change, a probable oil crash and an ever-growing population.  This documentary shows what governments and individuals can do together as they face these problems either through war or peace.
