Narrated by Alice Walker (author of The Color Purple), Roadmap to Apartheid is a historical document of the rise and fall of apartheid in South Africa and a film about why many Palestinians feel they are living in an apartheid system today, and why an increasing number of people around the world agree with them.
While not perfect, the apartheid analogy is a useful framework by which to educate people on the complex issues facing Israelis and Palestinians. Roadmap to Apartheid delves into those issues, comparing the many similar laws and tools used by both Israel and apartheid-era South Africa.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu: “Roadmap To Apartheid is very powerful and compelling, and the visuals of house demolitions are appalling. Religion is repeatedly misused by politicians. Yet one of the lessons of Jewish history is that God is always on the side of the oppressed. Another is that those who dehumanize others dehumanize themselves. Israelis will pay a heavy price for their callous mistreatment of Palestinians.”
Naomi Klein: “Roadmap to Apartheid is a harrowing exposé of Israel’s unique system of official discrimination.”
