Unsettled

Sponsored by SAJES "On the Same Page," Huntington Jewish Center, Cinema Arts Centre

In Person: Filmmaker Adam Hootnick

Forever Unsettled is the story of a generation on the front lines of a nation's battle against itself. When the Israeli government announces that it will withdraw from the Gaza Strip, it means lifeguards Lior, 21, and Meir, 27, will be forced to leave their home - Gaza's "Palm Beach" - forever. For Neta, 20, a religious filmmaker, the pullout plan sets off a desperate struggle to convince Israelis and the world that the withdrawal is a crime against god. Soldiers Yuval, 21, and Tamar, 20, must prepare for a mission against other Israelis, putting aside their own emotions to face angry protestors and the prsopect of attcks. Ya'ela, 21, joins a crodd-country tour in support of the withdrawal, even as she mourns a sister killed by Palestinian terrorists. For young Israelis, the summer of 2005 will change the meaning - and for some the very location - of home. Unsettled is a story about religion and democracy, soldiers and civilians, an dthe kids on the front lines of a battle where there is no enemy. USA, 2006, 84 min., Hebrew and English with English subtitles
