The film will be followed by a conversation with Dr Nick Riemer and Professor John Keane who are academics at the University of Sydney and long-time advocates of freedom and justice for Palestinians.

Last year the University of Sydney was part of the global student encampments campaigns, where Dr Riemer and Professor Keane were significant advocates of.

John and Nick are currently being sued in the Federal Court of Australia because their opponents claim that their statements and actions opposing Zionism – the political and military commitment to an exclusivist Jewish ethno-state in historic Palestine – are actually antisemitic hate speech.
