DESCRIPTION:Refuseniks, a new film by Sonja de Vries, documents the story of Israeli 
 men and women who refuse to serve in the military occupation of the West 
 Bank and Gaza, using stunning archival footage, still photos, and 
 interviews.  In Refuseniks, we meet several Israelis from different walks 
 of life, including 18-year-old Shani, a signer of an influential open 
 letter from high school students to Ariel Sharon condemning the occupation, 
 and Rami Kaplan, an officer who admits to ordering his men to shoot 
 prisoners.  Tel Belo, a medic in the army, wonders if his actions in the 
 territories caused a young boy to become a suicide bomber.  One of the 
 refuseniks, Matan Kaminer, used to live in Palo Alto, where he volunteered 
 at Peninsula Peace and Justice Center as a teenager.  Tanya Reinhart, an 
 Israeli journalist, contributes a historical perspective.  Refuseniks is a 
 moving portrait of men and women who were willing to risk imprisonment to 
 take a stand against the occupation by refusing to serve - and who came to 
 believe that this stand was crucial to their own humanity and to the future 
 of their country.\n\n$5 to $10 suggested donation ~ Sponsored by Peninsula
