Join us for a 2 day, Australia-wide online event.

On the first night, you’ll get to watch the documentary Until the Sky Falls Quiet, followed by a discussion with doctors – Dr. Siraj Sira and Dr. Sanjay Adusumilli – about what they saw, treated, and carried home. Khaled Shakhshir, who is the Executive Producer of the documentary and also an engineer and humanitarian aid worker who worked in Gaza’s Al Aqsa Hospital, will also be joining the discussion. Emily Davis, one of GetUp Australia’s Senior Campaigners, will be moderating.

The film is raw and intimate, it is mostly filmed on the doctors’ mobile phones, while they deal with the realities of trying to provide live-saving medical care in Gaza. If you can, consider watching it with someone else. It’s a heavy film and sometimes it helps to sit with it together.

On the second night, we turn to what comes next, bringing together advocates, community voices, and legal experts like the Executive Director of Australian Centre for International Justice, Rawan Arraf, and Commissioner Chris Sidoti who is a member of the UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel. Katie Shammas (Executive Officer, APAN) and Sarah Schwartz (Executive Officer, Jewish Council of Australia) will also be joining the conversation. Award-winning writer and human rights lawyer, Sara Saleh, will be moderating.

Together, they will unpack Australia’s role, the realities of international law, and how we sustain meaningful action and solidarity over time.
