Lyd is a sci-fi documentary directed by Rami Younis and Sarah Ema Friedland (directors will be present at the screening for a post-screening Q&A)

Lyd explores the untold history and present-day struggles of Lyd (Lod), a Palestinian city with a significant rich past and challenging present. Through personal stories and historical analysis, the film sheds light on the city’s cultural erasure, ongoing displacement, and the resilience of its Palestinian inhabitants.

Pizza and refreshments will be served. 

In 2011, Syrians took to the streets demanding freedom. Brutal government repression transformed peaceful protests into one of the most devastating conflicts of our times, killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions. In her new book, Wendy Pearlman (Northwestern University) draws upon hundreds of interviews conducted across more than a decade to probe an intimate and universal question. What is home? Syrians now on five continents share stories of leaving, losing, searching, and finding (or not finding) home.
