Lia Tarachansky is an anti-Zionist Israeli filmmaker, currently living in Ottawa, Canada, and a correspondent for The Real News Network. Her first feature documentary, On the Side of the Road, looks at the collective denial when it comes to what she considers the biggest taboo in Israeli society's social and historical memory: the Nakba, or "Catastrophe," as Palestinians call the war of ethnic cleansing that led to the foundation of Israel in 1948.
Ahead of her upcoming tour of film showings across the U.S., Tarachansky spoke with about the movie and her own journey out of Zionism. A shorter version of this interview was previously published at Electronic Intifada.
