Last Christian in Bethlehem
Palestinian Christians face an existential threat. Candid interviews are interspersed with scenes of settler attacks, a besieged Christian village, an olive harvest, a music festival, and a Christmas tree lighting in Bethlehem.
About the Film
"Last Christian in Bethlehem" is a new 64-minute documentary that gives voice to the often over-looked community of Palestinian Christians, who have existed in the Holy Land since the days of Jesus.
Today, in the West Bank, isolated and besieged by settlers and the Israeli military, Palestine’s 50,000 remaining Christians fear they will be driven from their homeland. After the horror and destruction in Gaza, they ask, “Are we next?"
Filmed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in late 2025, "Last Christian in Bethlehem" includes interviews with a range of Palestinian Christians, as well as a Muslim bookshop manager and an Israeli rabbi and human rights activist.
For those who view the Israel-Palestine conflict as a battle between Judeo-Christianity and Islam, the film offers many surprises, showing in Palestine an ecumenical olive harvest, a variety of church services, a Christian family struggling to defend their land against Israeli settler attacks, a music festival, a Christmas celebration in Nativity Square, even a micro-brewery in an ancient Christian town.
Palestinian Christians in the film stress their commitment to non-violence and "creative resistance" to the occupation, while making an urgent appeal for international understanding and support before i

I'd like to Host my Screening at my local cinema, but I'm not seeing it on the Screening request form. Can I still screen there?
We are generally able to screen at most Venues, and add Venues to our network. Please email [email protected] with the info on the cinema, and we will reach out to them.
I'm not going to reach the minimum tickets by the expiration date. Can I move the expiration date out?
We generally are not able to move the expiration date because we need to give the theater time to book the screening, assign an auditorium, receive the content, etc. That being said, we can certainly move out the Event date which will automatically move the expiration date as well.
My tipping point is so high, can I lower it?
The tipping point is based on the amount it costs to rent out the theater for a screening. These rates are set by the theater, so we are generally not able to lower this number.
I found a different theater where I would rather Host my Event, can I move it?
Yes, please email [email protected] and we can assist you with moving your screening to a new location.
My Event is almost sold out, can we book a second auditorium for the same date, Venue, and time?
Theaters generally do not like booking 2 screens for Gathr events on the same evening. If your Event is close to selling out, please email [email protected], and we will reach out to the theater in order to move to a larger auditorium to accommodate all of your guests.
