 As the African National Congress voted Thursday to
support the Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against
Israel known as BDS, declaring it was
"unapologetic in its view that the Palestinians are the victims and the
oppressed in the conflict with Israel," we look at a new film that examines the
apartheid analogy commonly used to describe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"Roadmap to Apartheid" is narrated by
Pulitzer Prize-winning Alice
Walker and puts archival footage and interviews with South Africans
alongside similar material that shows what life is like for Palestinians in the
West Bank, Gaza Strip and inside Israel. The documentary has just been released
to the public after a year-long film festival run, where it won numerous awards.
We are joined by its co-directors, South African-born Ana Nogueira and
Israeli-born Eron Davidson, both longtime journalists. [includes rush
