Denison University’s 4th Annual Middle East Film Festival presents a screening of “Tantura” directed by Alon Schwarz.

In the war of 1948, hundreds of Palestinian villages were depopulated. Israelis call it, the War of Independence, and Palestinians call it the Nakba. The film examines the 1948 massacre at the Palestinian village of Tantura, and the dogged work of one Israeli researcher to expose the truth.

Israel, 2022, 94 mins, Documentary, Arabic, English, Hebrew
