Bonhoffer (UK Cinemas 7th March)
Berlin during the Third Reich, examining pastor and
theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer's determination to live his
life with uncompromising political and spiritual courage,
while speaking truth to power.
A topical challenge to Christians to be faithful to Jesus, and not to be conditioned by culture, media or politicians. "Your life as a Christian should make non believers question their disbelief in God' "Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you your life."

The Tinderbox Shown under a Christian Aid Licence
Many people think they understand what’s going on in
Israel and Palestine today, but are they right?
And what does the story of how and why a century of
violence started have to do with the West?
A rare and thought-provoking examination of both sides of
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, from its catalyst to why it still
rages, to what needs to happen for it to stop.
The Tinderbox combines ancient and more recent history,
geopolitical problems (racism, inequality, immigration and
fake truths), and psychology, with the deeply personal
journey of one person forced to challenge everything they’d
been taught about the conflict in Israel and Palestine.
The film also shows the human face of this conflict by hearing from a wide variety of contemporary voices, ranging from a Settler to a political member of Hamas. Today, while this conflict still rages, an American Middle East Peace Plan is in the works, and anti-Semitism and Islamophobia remain as globally controversial as ever, this film will provide context, show how history continues to play out in the daily lives of people on either side of the divide, and will empower audiences to make up their own minds.
