Mission

We’ve been wanting to create a film series centered on Israeli and Palestinian stories for a long time — especially after October 7, 2023. Over the past year at TFC, we’ve been working to make that happen. And truthfully, we’ve faced a lot of resistance: fear, skepticism, and in some cases, complete paralysis.

People say they want peace — but when you drill down, many admit they don’t know enough to engage. Others are so anchored to what they think they know, they’re not open to recognizing how different versions of history, politics, and non-neutral media have shaped their views. Real dialogue requires both learning and unlearning.

That’s why we created Peaced Off! — a film and conversation series born out of frustration, heartbreak, and the urgent persistent desire for peace. The title reflects the anger many of us feel right now — but also reclaims the focus on a way forward. 

When we cut through the noise, those who genuinely seek a peaceful solution often have more in common than they realize.

Peaced Off! embraces all perspectives and faiths — Israeli, Palestinian, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Druze, Bahai — and invites people to share stories, truthful information, sit with discomfort, listen to one another’s beliefs, and examine how language and media shape our understanding of the conflict.

We’re starting with a few podcast episodes, with plans to expand into virtual film and conversation events.

The mission is simple but vital: to foster empathy, promote honest dialogue, get past polarization, and begin building common ground — one story at a time.

Thank you for being here.
