The Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies minor will show the film “Encounter Point” on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m., in Dunleavy 127, as part of its year-long film series.

“Encounter Point”  is a feature documentary that follows a former Israeli settler, a Palestinian ex-prisoner, a bereaved Israeli mother and a wounded Palestinian bereaved brother who risk their lives and public standing to promote a nonviolent end to the Arab-Israeli conflict. The film explores what drives them and thousands of other like-minded civilians to overcome anger and grief to work for grassroots solutions. Classes are welcome.  Please contact Stefanie Wichhart at skw@niagara.edu for more information.
