Ameer Got His Gun Film Screening

This fall, Documentary Educational Resources (www.der.org) is proudly partnering with Emerson College and the United Nations Association of Greater Boston to bring you a multi-cultural film series! The first screening is fast approaching, so be sure to mark your calendars for AMEER GOT HIS GUN on September 19th! 

Nominated for an Israeli Academy Award in 2012, AMEER GOT HIS GUN tells the story of a young Arab-Israeli Muslim who volunteers to join the Israeli Defense Forces with the belief that his induction will lead to equality and a sense of belonging to the state he lives in, the state he wants to love.  Drawing fire from Jewish and Palestinian societies, he sets out on a tough voyage to civic and self definition.  Naomi Levari, the film’s director, will be joining us from Israel via Skype for a Q&A after the screening.

Each screening will be held at Emerson’s Bright Family Screening Room at 7pm. Admission is free and open to the public, so please spread the word to your friends, students, colleagues, and social media outlets!
