There is Another Way – Film Screening
July 19, 2025 at 5 PM – FREE / donations encouraged!
7 Stages Mainstage
In the midst of darkness, we discover who we truly are. There is Another Way tells the story of a group of visionaries who refuse to surrender to violence and injustice, and in doing so show that another path is possible – for them, for us, and for all humanity. As we are all faced with essential questions about who we are, will we choose collective liberation, where the needs, rights, and safety of all are prioritized – in which our humanity comes first, knowing that no one is free until everyone is free.
Combatants for Peace, nominated for two Nobel Peace Prizes, is an extraordinary bi-national group of former enemy combatants – Israelis and Palestinians – working together during an ongoing armed conflict. Confronted with the devastation and escalating violence of October 7th and the war in Gaza, the very core of the movement faces great challenges in showing that there is another way. The first question they must answer relates to their own beliefs…is this possible?
A follow up to the award-winning documentary Disturbing the Peace (2016), which is about questioning the narrative we are born into, There is Another Way is about choosing our future. It takes courage to walk a path even when you yourself feel overwhelmed and afraid—a path where you don’t know the final answer, only that it will emerge from standing in the grief of what we, as humanity, have experienced and created and find yourself unable to turn away.
This event is a fundraiser for the organization Combatants for Peace and is FREE to attend. The event will be oversold, so please arrive early to claim your seat or make a donation when reserving. 7 Stages will also be hosting a Service Saturday event from 2-5, so come by anytime!
All unclaimed tickets will be released 15 minutes before showing. Late seating will only be allowed if seats remain available. We will accommodate as many as possible.
After the film, we will make space for conversation and can share a recorded conversation with members of Combatants for Peace and the filmmaker. The conversation can offer more insight into the work being done for this non-violent movement but we also understand sometimes we need to talk through difficult things with our community. We will offer space for both.
