“Kings of Capitol Hill”: Discussion with filmmaker Mor Loushy

Featuring Tom Dine (formerly of AIPAC) and Simone Zimmerman (B’Tselem USA)

Moderated by Lara Friedman (FMEP)

Sunday, December 6th 

4pm EST 

RSVP here

“Kings of Capitol Hill,” a brand-new documentary from Mor Loushy (“Censored Voices,”) will be featured in The Other Israel Film Festival’s 2020 line-up. As they say, “AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is the spearhead of the pro-Israeli lobby in the US. What started out as a liberal grassroots organization has become one of the most influential lobby organizations in America. For the past 60 years, AIPAC has maintained a strict “no interview” policy. Now, for the first time, its founding fathers are speaking out, granting full access to the untold story of the organization and to the turbulent relationship between Israel and the US.”

“Kings of Capitol Hill” will be streaming from December 3rd – December 10th, with tickets available here. FMEP viewers are invited to use the code FMEP20 for a 20% discount when purchasing tickets. Watch the film and tune in for a Q & A with filmmaker Mor Loushy and FMEP President Lara Friedman.
