DESCRIPTION:This is a benefit for KPFA 94.1FM and "The Raid" project, a documentary of 
 never before seen footage of the 2010 Gaza Freedom Flotilla. This is also a 
 book party for Angela Lano's "Towards Gaza: Live from the Freedom 
 Flotilla."\n\nThe program will include a preview of a 1-hour documentary: 
 "The Raid" by Belgian journalist and filmmaker Marcello Faraggi on the 2010 
 Gaza Freedom Flotilla (FF1) made from never before seen footage from over 
 20 smuggled cassettes as well as the last footage of Vittorio Arrigoni in 
 Gaza before his murder. The viewing will be followed by a Skype 
 conversation with Faraggi. The program will begin with a commentary by 
 KPFA's Kevin Pina and presentations by former SF Chronicle columnist Henry 
 Norr who was the Bay Area media lead during FF1 and a passenger on the U.S. 
 Boat to Gaza ("The Audacity of Hope"), one of the 2011 Freedom Flotilla 
 (FF2) boats, and Kathy Sheetz who was on the first and successful Free Gaza 
 Movement boat voyage in 2008, two later attempts to enter Gaza by sea, June 
 2009 and FF1, and the nurse for the U.S. Boat to Gaza during FF2. FF1 
 passenger Janet Kobren will introduce a book by her fellow passenger, 
 Italian journalist Angela Lano, a narrative of her first-hand experience 
 during FF1, her family's watchful and anxious time at home in Italy during 
 the May 31, 2010 attack, and with post-FF1 reports included in the 
 appendix. And there will be a guest appearance by Dennis 
 Bernstein.\n\nTickets: $12 in advance at Brown Paper Tickets
