We are thrilled to be able to partner with Jeeda Musleh, Coordinator of Apartheid-Free Communities BC to help nourish the momentum of this movement, and to help allies connect in supportive networks to keep this important work going. In 56 days, on October 7th, it will mark three full years that this current phase of Israeli genocide in Palestine will have been allowed to continue. We must stay faithful in this anti-apartheid work, we must continue to speak, act, and organize in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings, and we must help one another keep going.

Film Synopsis
In this award-winning documentary, the first-time directors take a detailed look at the Apartheid analogy commonly used to describe the Israeli Apartheid in Palestine.
Narrated by Alice Walker (author of The Color Purple), Roadmap to Apartheid is as much a historical document of the rise and fall of apartheid in South Africa, as it is a film about why many Palestinians feel they are living in an apartheid system today, and why an increasing number of people and prominent human rights organizations around the world agree with them.
While not perfect, the apartheid analogy is a useful framework by which to educate people on the oppression perpetrated on the people of Palestine. The film delves into those issues, comparing the many similar laws and tools used by both the zionist entity and apartheid-era South Africa. The audience will see what life is like for Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and inside Palestine 48 borders to gain a deeper understanding of the truth on the ground. Combined with archival material and anecdotes from South Africans, the film forms a complete picture as to why the analogy is being used with increasing frequency and potency.
