TvO’s Justice in Israel-Palestine Committee invites all to join in Zoom of course!) to discuss the 2020 film MAYOR, which is playing via Cinemapolis’ Virtual Cinema until March 4. “MAYOR is a real-life political saga following Musa Hadid, the Christian mayor of Ramallah, during his second term in office. His immediate goals: repave the sidewalks, attract more tourism, and plan the city’s Christmas celebrations. His ultimate mission: to end the occupation of Palestine. … MAYOR offers a portrait of dignity amidst the madness and absurdity of endless occupation while posing a question: how do you run a city when you don’t have a country?” The film followed Musa Hadid for two years and shows actual footage and ramifications of current events we are likely to remember, e.g., Trump’s announcement that the U.S. embassy will move to Jerusalem. And events we may have forgotten or overlooked, e.g., Prince William’s visit to Ramallah in 2018. Contact info@tikkunvor.org
