imperative that is imposed on the children of Israel, and how it is a
powerful tool for propaganda. For instance, during the month of April,
feast days and celebrations take place one after another. School
children of all ages prepare to pay tribute to their country's past. The
film shows how this collective memory becomes a terribly efficient tool
to shape young minds. ---- The author of the film, Eyal Sivan, is an
Israeli. By rediscovering the myths and symbols that have contributed to
his own identity, as well as that of every Israeli, he is bringing into
play his own personal experience. Through a meticulous observation of
the educational system, from kindergarten to the army, we discover how
history is transformed into memory and how it influences Israelis'
behavior and lifestyles.
The film asks the inevitable question: Can a people keep walking forward
with the rest of the world, all the while repeating endlessly:"Our
Future is past us"?
Today, millions of people educated by the Israeli state are now waging a
genocide against Palestinian people, especially in Gaza. The UNRWA, one
of the biggest organizationz to support and help Palestinian people on
the ground, is now being underfunded. Benefits from the movie screening
will go to help them provide medical aid and food in Gaza.
