Condon Hall Rm 109
(1100 NE Campus Parkway, University of Washington)
7 pm - 9 pm
This is the first Palestinian film to be shown to the General Assembly at the UN. Yahya Barakat, the director of this powerful documentary, goes beyond the politics of the Occupation to depict facts on the ground. He shows the Palestinian dilemma and what motivates members of the international peace movement to come to Palestine. Barakat's earlier movie is "The House of God", a documentary that brought to life the memorable siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem by the Israeli army in 2002. Yahya Barakat will be in attendance at the showing. He is eager to talk with the audience and answer questions after the film.
International Solidarity Movement activist, Rachel Corrie, was killed when an Israeli soldier ran her over with a bulldozer in March 2003. Rachel was from Olympia. The bulldozer is made by Caterpillar which is here in the United State. Rachel died trying to stop the demolition of the home of Dr. Samir Nasrallah and his family. for more info, call 206-568-7110
