Jerusalem Is Proud to Present
by Nitzan Gilady
(Israel, 2007, Arabic/English/Hebrew with subtitles, 82 min.).

In 2006, plans by Jerusalem Open House to host the World Pride march were met with resistance from the government and police, as well as threats of violence from the city's Orthodox Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities. A timely documentary chronicling a community's fight to declare their pride and humanity in the face of resistance and intolerance.  Co-presented by The Boston Jewish Film Festival and Keshet.
