On Friday, April 24, at 1:00 p.m., filmmaker and peace activist Lilly Rivlin will screen and discuss her documentary, Can You Hear Me? Israeli and Palestinian Women Fight for Peace.

Can You Hear Me? is the first documentary to explore in depth the role of Israeli and Palestinian women peace activists dealing with one of the world’s oldest conflicts. Though prospects for peace have ebbed and flowed between Israelis and Palestinians, women peace activists have worked consistently to bring an end to the bloodshed that has brought so much anguish to both sides. A Q&A session will follow the screening.

Lilly Rivlin is a journalist, writer, and filmmaker. She is also a consultant for Middle East politics, Jewish affairs, non-violent conflict resolution, and gender issues. She is a co-founder of the original Feminist Seder and serves on the International Committee of Women of the Wall. Her films also include Miriam's Daughters Now, The Tribe, and Gimme a Kiss.

The event will be held in the Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, Arnhold Hall, 55 West 13th Street, 2nd floor. Admission is free, but reservations are required by calling 212. 229.5682.
