This evening's slide presentation and discussion is part of a six week Middle East Film & Lecture Series.
$5-$10 suggested sliding-scale donation (no one turned away for lack of funds)

Scott Kennedy, Coordinator of the Middle East Program of the Resource Center for Nonviolence, will show photos and describe his November 2006 rare experience of entering the Gaza Strip, the even rarer meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh from the Islamic Party Hamas, and the ways in which language in public discourse and the media masks what is actually going on in Palestine -- the devastation of Gaza as the result of a US led economic blockade and Israel's military siege. Proceeds will benefit the Middle East Program of RCNV.
