Voices From the Holy Land — an excellent source of information about documentary films about Israel/Palestine.

Voices from the Holy Land (VFHL) has held nearly 150 public screenings of documentary films about Israel/Palestine since its inception in 2015. Currently it has switched to online screenings and discussions as part of its Online Film Salon. VFHL screenings have been shown under the sponsorship of a multitude of religious and human rights groups. It’s main website is located HERE.
