Screening of an episode of Tangled Roots on campus |

Panel discussion live |

Advance registration is required for admission to the auditorium >

The documentary series Tangled Roots, created by Anat Zeltzer and Modi Bar-On, presents a complex view of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The six parts of the series trace the roots of the conflict and recreate the conflictual path leading from the Balfour Declaration to the 1948 war that has shaped and kept the conflict going to this day.

Using archival materials and a historical analysis by Jewish and Arab scholars, the series raises questions about political education and civics education in a society locked in a continuing conflict.
