The news from Bryn Mawr is ambivalent.
There is good news and bad news.
First, the good news:
The courts intervened, and the BMFI must now show the film.
Now, the bad news:
Bryn Mawr Film Institute has not retracted its statement nor amended its thinking.
So, we get to see a movie in a place that is hostile to showing it.
The stakes have been raised on both sides as the film is now set to be shown. Those supporting the right to see the movie and those protesting Israel will be out in full force. I hope that each side can express their views without hindrance from the other. Whichever side you are on, strive for peace.
You guys at BMFI need to rethink your leadership. Whoever is in charge should be thanked for their past service and shown the door. Until at least a meaningful apology is offered, consider me a former member.
