A Palestinian residents' group is set to host its second film event in a bid to raise awareness of the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Marlow Palestine Solidarity is hoping to welcome up to 100 people to the Royal British Legion Club on November 29 for a screening of the film, Israelism.
The documentary, directed by two first-time Jewish filmmakers, explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing, with consequences for the region.
Stalls will be set up at the ticketed event with all proceeds due to be donated to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

One of the organisers, Lucie Vassiliou, told the Free Press: "What we want to do is educate and raise awareness among people to stand in solidarity.
"It is important to show films like this because we don't just want to show a Palestinian film, we want to show a film that has been produced by American Jews from the younger generation.
"It shows how American Jews have been raised and have grown up to love Israel. It basically tells us from their point of view what they were told to believe as young children."
Tickets are being sold at £5 each with around 80 to 100 people expected to attend from Marlow and the surrounding villages.
Doors will open at 6.30pm with the film due to start at 7pm.
It is the group's second event and comes just two months after the sold-out screening of the film, Where Olive Trees Weep, at Christ Church URC.
Lucie added: "We want to thank our venue. It is really important for us that we have been given the opportunity to host this at the Royal British Legion Club in Marlow."
Marlow Palestine Solidarity was formed in light of the war in Gaza and is the first group of its kind in Marlow.
One attendee at the previous event, Michael New OBE said: “Excellent meeting. The film was enlightening for those not already familiar with the situation.
"Seasoned Palestinian supporters in my family were also impressed.”
