By Brody Levesque (Washington DC) Feb 5 | Judy Lewis, the director the Jewish Gay Network of Michigan, announced today that the organisation is proud to be a co-sponsor of the award winning Israeli film “City of Borders,” debuting as a feature film in this year's annual film festival in Detroit.
It’s a documentary about a gay bar in Israel popular with both Israelis and Arabs. Located in Jerusalem, which is interesting in itself due to the city's rather conservative nature, the bar in the heart of Jerusalem stands an unusual symbol of unity that defies generations of segregation, violence and prejudice.
'City of Borders' goes inside this underground sanctuary where people of opposing nationalities, religions and sexual orientations create an island of peace in a land divided by warfare.
The Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit spokesperson Elizabeth Applebaum, said that each year the Jewish Community sponsors a film festival in April. This year there will be about 40 films on very diverse topics and that the JGNM is proud that 'City of Borders' will be included in this year's line-up.
