<p><font color="#000000">Mohammed Al Kurd is a Palestinian
teenager growing up in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah
in the heart of East Jerusalem. When Mohammed turns 11,
his family is forced to give up part of their home to
Israeli settlers, who are leading a campaign of

to guarantee Jewish control of the area. Shortly after
the evictions start, Mohammed’s family and other
residents begin peacefully protesting against the
displacement. In a surprising turn, they are quickly
joined by scores of Israeli supporters who are horrified
to see what is being done in their name.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><em>My</em><em> Neighborhood</em>
follows Mohammed’s story as he comes of age in the midst
of unrelenting tension and remarkable cooperation in his
backyard. Highlighting Mohammed’s own reactions to the
highly volatile situation, reflections from family
members and other evicted residents, accounts of Israeli
protesters and interviews with Israeli settlers, <em>My</em><em>
Neighborhood</em> chronicles the resolve of a
neighborhood and the support it receives from the most
unexpected of places.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><em>My Neighbourhood </em>premiered
in April 2012 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York
and has been met with support and recognition at venues
including the Paley Center for Media, the San Francisco
Jewish Film Festival, the Al Jazeera International
Documentary Festival and the European Parliament.</font></p>
