Travel2Palestine are delighted to be working in association with Leila Sansour to promote her new film, Open Bethlehem.
Shot over five years the film captures the city of Bethlehem as it has never been seen before. This is an emotional journey of one woman’s fight for her hometown.
“One of the most remarkable and moving documentaries I have seen, about this unreported story. The tragedy of the Palestinians encapsulated in the life of one family and one town- Bethlehem. See the film, then go to Bethlehem and see for yourself.” Jon Snow

Read some of the comments from our latest visit:
“I shall never forget the street in Hebron cleared of Palestinians nor the courage of the resistance in Bi’lin. Thank you for making this possible”
“The best was meeting some extremely impressive and articulate people, e.g. the member of the Knesset, the mayor of Bethlehem, the ICAHD spokeswoman. I also thought it was great that we were exposed to Israelis who were on-side so it never became the goodies versus the baddies. And the other “best” was the welcome we received everywhere we went within Palestine, the chance to see beautiful ancient cities, the Palestinian hospitality and the delicious food.”
“It was a fantastic visit -and has inspired me to even greater efforts to raise awareness of and opposition to Israeli apartheid. I will be encouraging others to come.“
