This feature-length, sci-fi documentary shares multiple pasts, presents, and futures of the city of Lyd in Palestine/Israel. Lyd was once a thriving Palestinian city with a rich history. When the State of Israel was founded in 1948, Lyd became an Israeli city, and in the process, hundreds of Lyd’s Palestinian residents were massacred by Israeli forces, and most of the city’s 50,000 Palestinian residents were exiled. This film dares to ask the question: what would the city be like had the Israeli occupation of Lyd never happened?

This screening includes a Q&A with director Sarah Ema Friedland.
