FILM: Home Game
- Saturday 8:00PM–10:25PM Presidential Suite 2
Home Game focuses on the human aspect of a political event to remind us all that, regardless of politics, we are all people who are supposed to care about one another. The film documents the story of graduating 12th graders from the Israeli village of Netzer Hazani in Gush Katif, Gaza Strip, during their last vacation before adulthood. In the summer of 2005, the Israeli government began to implement its plan to remove them from their homes in Gush Katif, Gaza, as part of the Middle East peace process. Instead of just competing on the basketball court, they were also forced to compete on their 'home' court as well. (120 minutes)
