The Little will screen Junction 48 (Udi Aloni, Israel / Germany / U.S. 2016, 97 min.) as part of the 2017 Witness Palestine Film Series.

The combination of politics and art has become a global movement. They act as a form of activism particularly for issues such as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Junction 48 exemplifies the unification of politics, art, the entertainment industry, and the millennial generation's take on issues the world faces today. The movie tells a story of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through the eyes of two young lovers that share a passion for hip-hop music, and live in the Israeli-Palestinian city of Lod. Through the music they perform, the actors show the Palestinian community in Lod — one of poverty and crime. They show the oppression inflicted by the Jewish Israeli society, and the ways in which they overcome them.
