About the event
Join us for an in-person screening of Refusing to Be Enemies: The Zeitouna Story, a documentary that follows a remarkable group of Palestinian and Jewish women in Ann Arbor, Michigan who have spent decades building relationships across one of the world's most painful divides. Through shared meals, personal storytelling, and a deep commitment to dialogue, the women of Zeitouna model what it looks like to hold space for both suffering and connection — and to refuse, together, to be enemies.
The screening will be followed by a discussion, joined by members of the Zeitouna group, who have been sharing this film and its message for years. To honor the spirit of the film and ensure that every voice in the room has space to be heard, we are intentionally keeping this gathering intimate — attendance is limited to 20 participants. This event is part of Michigan Friends Center's new film…
