“Most social change in the world today starts from the bottom up and eventually takes root at the higher echelons to become policy- environmentalism, feminism, the civil rights movement - the list goes on. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is no different. Politicians will ultimately follow, but I am concerned with who will lead.”
Suhad
Babaa | Community Outreach and Digital Resources Manager
"We tell the stories of those that stand up, that take the courageous and bold step forward even as the tide runs swiftly against them. At the end of the day, I believe it will be this courage that will alter the course, change the tide, and lead to freedom and peace in the region."

"We are providing alternative role models in a complex and changing world. I have seen people challenged, inspired and motivated to take action based on the stories we tell."

Colan | Development and Operations Assistant
“I believe technology is connecting people with one another across the most unlikely divides - political, social, religious, ideological - and allowing us to share in our common humanity. When one sees that “the other” might not be so different, we can begin to break down age old barriers from the bottom-up.”

Dallett | Film Production Assistant
"Just Vision creates a space for cross-cultural dialogue and interaction on issues that are often considered intractable or too emotional to talk about productively. Our stories help to remind audiences that the differences between us are only as significant as we want them to be."

"When it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, you can either follow the news and listen to the leaders and lose hope, or you can look to the people working on the ground and be lifted up by their courage, creativity and resilience. I believe in the work we do at Just Vision because it makes it possible to look to those people."
Yael
Marom | Media and Public Engagement Coordinator, Israel
"I believe that the more voices of new leaders – men and women working nonviolently at the community level – that echo among the people living in the Israeli-Palestinian context, the closer we will be to a better and more just future."

Nasser | Strategic Projects Coordinator
Home Front Co-Producer, My Neighbourhood Co-Producer
“I believe in this work because we don't have the luxury not to believe in it.”
Megan
Rolfe | Grants Coordinator
"Movements are not simple and change is not easy, but film is a powerful medium for encouraging dialogue, prompting self-inquiry, and inspiring action on the road towards peace."
Moriel
Rothman | Israeli Educational Outreach Liaison
''I do this work as an act of refusal, resistance and hope: Refusal to give into the comforts of despair and a tragic view of reality, resistance to the forces of separation, hatred, violence and cynicism, hope for a future that is even a little bit more just and loving and joyous.''
Anya
Rous | Manager of Strategic Relationships
"I value Just Vision's commitment to working in partnership and its recognition that we each have a role to play in this struggle for freedom and dignity."

“My own personal story effected my life and gave me the power and energy to change the reality around me. I know it will take time, but my child and all children from both sides deserve the hard work we all are doing.”
Kitty
Talbot Jones | Director of Finance and Administration
“I am honored to be a part of the work Just Vision does because we are really making a difference.”
