What we need is more than films just showing the two sides of a conflict. What we really need is films that offer possible solutions to the problems that exist in the world. We need films that dare to inspire, uplift and make audiences believe that anything is possible. I don't see anyone offering this type of film. If they did the audience would be tremendous, bringing the two sides of a conflict together. Of course, it is easier in narrative fiction than in a documentary and it would appeal to a wider audience.

I respectfully disagree with you here. Personally speaking, I am tired of unsupported assertions of a media conspiracy against Palestinian stories. The issues related to the Gaza conflict are historically based, incredibly nuanced, and easily manipulated to serve a political purpose. October 7, 2023 was a bloody orgy diabolically choreographed by terrorists who intentionally sacrificed non-combatants ON BOTH SIDES to advance their agenda. It took a while, but many responsible media outlets understand this grotesque charade and are reticent to pile on.

The ((people)) in Hollywood don’t want movies that are sympathetic to Palestinians?

Me to anti semites: cmon we don’t control the media, you can’t say that!

The media: cancels all Palestinian films

Me: smashing my head into a wall forever.
