OPEN LETTER TO ISMAIL MAHOMED AND THE DURBAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL:
My name is Samuel Hyde, I have worked both in the theatre industry and currently work as an engineer/producer in the music business. I studied the Holocaust and Anti-Semitism at a high academic level through the Cape Town Holocaust & Genocide Centre where I spent 2 years volunteering and working. As a Jewish and Israel rights activist I work daily with Palestinians on the ground at erasing false narratives, ending the zero-sum game and bringing unity between our two communities. My commitment to activism and social justice extends beyond my own community – I have worked in close collaboration with the Umubano Foundation to educate on the Rwandan Genocide and produced a theatre production that used genocide as it’s backdrop to address rape being used as a weapon of war.

The Durban International Film Festival (DIFF) decided to boycott Israeli cinematic productions, in protest against the recent aggression on the Gaza Strip and the continuing violation of Palestinian rights.
DIFF declined the participation of Director Yakie Ayalon with his documentary
Eretz Go , which recounts the journey of an immigrant family from Nigeria to Israel.
Ayalon received an email from the organising committee stating that the festival is committed to boycotting Israel, based on its belief in social justice and the value of human rights and dignity.
