PALESTINE TRUTH TOUR 2003
First Hand Reports from Palestine

New College Cultural Center
766 Valencia Street, San Francisco
______________________________________________________

Watch a special screening of "Amandla Intfada," a remarkable new documentary
on Palestine, and hear a first-hand account by human rights activist Liv
Dillon, followed by facilitated group discussion.

"Amandla Intfada" is a new video by Big Noise Tactical, the documentary
filmmaking collective that made "This is What Democracy Looks Like" and
"Zapatista." The video features Palestinian leaders including Dr. Mustafa
Barghouti and Hanan Ashrawi, and front-line scenes from Jenin, Hebron, and
other cities. "Amandla Intfada" concludes with never-before seen footage of
the Israeli invasion of Jenin from the summer of 2002.

Liv Dillon spent 3 weeks this April in a Palestinian Refugee camp in
Bethlehem during the Israeli invasion. She lived with a refugee family under
curfew for almost the entire time, and did volunteer work in Bethlehem
during the siege of Manger Square, delivering food to besieged areas, riding
with ambulances and walking people to the hospital during curfew.

Thursday January 23rd, 7:15 p.m. New College Cultural Center, 766 Valencia,
S.F. ($5-10 requested donation - no one will be turned away for lack of
