Peaced Off! is a film and conversation series born out of frustration, heartbreak, and the urgent, persistent desire for peace.
Presented by The Film Collaborative, Peaced Off! explores Israeli and Palestinian stories through podcast episodes, films, and dialogue events that center empathy, truth, and shared humanity.
The mission is simple yet vital: to foster empathy, promote honest dialogue, move beyond polarization, and build common ground—one story at a time.
For video versions of these podcasts, as well as the films, clips, and trailers that are referenced in the discussion, please visit getpeacedoff.com.
