Event organiser Rhona Rose said the film gave her an insight into the background of the complex situation in Palestine.
Palestine Under Siege has been widely praised as being the best depiction of everyday life for Palestinians during the last 70 years.
The film does not contain the images of horror we have seen on the news since the Hamas invasion in October 2023.
The Australian filmmakers self-funded their travel to Palestine.
Dr Peter Slezak is Jewish. His family survived the Holocaust. Rand Darwish’s family fled from Palestine.
Dr Slezak and Mr Darwish both sought answers to their personal questions about the declaration of the state of Israel in 1947, the seizing of over half of Palestinian land and the displacement of at least 750,000 Palestinians from a population of 1.9 million people.
Ms Rose said the interviews are revealing and give a human face to the conflict.
A Q and A session following the film invites the audience to have their questions addressed.
This will be hosted by one of the filmmakers (via zoom) and Dr Mark Furlong.
Dr Furlong is a representative of the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN).
Afternoon tea will follow the Q and A session.
Dare to Struggle has been asked to make another film, covering events in Palestine since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
Proceeds from ticket sales will go equally to APAN and Dare to Struggle filmmakers.
