The Grand Illusion

$5 or more pay-what-you-can ticket pricing!

It is unconscionable that Israel's attacks on Gaza have killed at least 10,000 innocent children (as of early February). The Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) is the primary aid org in Gaza and provides medical and humanitarian relief to families there. All proceeds from this screening will go to the PCRF in support of their mission.

GAZA brings us into a unique place beyond the reach of television news reports to reveal a world rich with eloquent and resilient characters, offering us a cinematic and enriching portrait of a people attempting to lead meaningful lives against the rubble of perennial conflict.

Additional donations may be made in-person at the time of the screening. You may also donate directly at any time by going to PCRF’s donation page.

“A striking piece of film-making, beautifully shot.” Wendy Ide, The Observer

“The film has real value as a compassionate human document, in showing ordinary people who courageously have to keep going somehow, in the grimmest of conditions, in a world where, as someone puts it, there is a ‘wall between the people of Gaza and life itself’.” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
