This is a trailer for the film Have You Heard From Johannesburg?. I know the movement for equal rights and justice in Israel/Palestine doesn’t look like this quite yet, but maybe someday soon. If you’re in New York City, the film will be playing at the Film Forum in April.

Thanks for posting this, Adam–really fascinating to see the U.S. media coverage classifying uprisings against apartheid as “violent riots.”
To me that’s hopeful in a way (not optimistic, really, just hopeful): that despite deeply ingrained U.S. racism and negative media coverage an international grassroots movement with U.S. participation arose to challenge apartheid.
Here’s hoping (and working to ensure) that we’re seeing that happen once again, despite the obstacles.
One of the textscreens in the movie says “this is a story of two countries”. which made me vacillate on what would be in the next scene.
Gee, look at that 1970′s vision of justice, wide lapels and hat and all. It conjures up old newspeak of HymieTown. What has changed other than the cut of the lapels, the lid size of the hat? We might as well be grabbing the microphone in Cabaret. The sequel will come along, the basic facts will not change, because nobody will ever concede the basic problem as it emanates from either side. No spiritual
world view that is bipolar will ever not be a problem. God cannot discriminate.

I just saw the brief intros to the six parts on youtube and I’m thinking, anyone who thinks there is no parallel to Israeli apartheid, will recognise it in this documentary.
Apartheid is as evil, as immoral, is as un-Christian in my view as Nazism. And the Reagan administrations support for it is equally immoral, evil, AND un-Christian.
