Do you want to better understand the historical background to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine and the unresolved issues and legacy of the past century? Hear film-maker Gillian Mosely in conversation with Middle East expert Dr Harry Hagopian, and Chief Executive of Embrace the Middle East Tim Livesey, discussing the film, and the insights it offers to anyone genuinely seeking understanding as a crucial aid to building trust, and imagining possible pathways to peace.
This screening is organised in partnership* with Embrace the Middle East. Embrace the Middle East supports Christian partners in the Middle East as they work to transform lives and restore the dignity of the most excluded and marginalised in their communities. Where there is a need – for refuge, a home, for health care, for education, for justice and human rights – we, with our partners, aim to respond. We hope this contributes to a culture of human flourishing in a war-torn region.

*All views expressed in THE TINDERBOX represent the opinions of the director and those followed throughout the film. They do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Embrace the Middle East or Embrace the Middle East’s partners.
The Tinderbox combines ancient and more recent history, geopolitical problems (racism, inequality, immigration and fake truths), and psychology, with the deeply personal journey of one person forced to challenge everything they’d been taught about the conflict in Israel and Palestine.
The film also shows the human face of this conflict by hearing from a wide variety of contemporary voices, ranging from a Settler to a political member of Hamas. Today, while this conflict still rages, an American Middle East Peace Plan is in the works, and anti-Semitism and Islamophobia remain as globally controversial as ever, this film will provide context, show how history continues to play out in the daily lives of people on either side of the divide, and will empower audiences to make up their own minds.
