DESCRIPTION:As part of Televising the Revolution, a Radical Film Series at El Rio, 3158 
 Mission St @ Cesar Chavez, SF, the Heads Up Collective presents the Bay 
 Area Premier of PALESTINE BLUES, a film by Nida Sinnokrot.  Also  featuring 
 speakers from ADC-SF.\n\nPalestine Blues follows the repercussions of the 
 Israeli Apartheid Wall and Settlement expansion in the Palestinian farming 
 communities of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Instead of focusing on the 
 Wall as an object, Palestine Blues examines the grassroots resistance 
 movement that has sprung up against it. In June 2002, construction of 
 Israel's now infamous barrier began in the West Bank.  Though it is 
 referred to as a "security fence" by Israel, its form changes along the 
 route, and near large cities it is a concrete wall\ntwice as high as the 
 Berlin Wall.\n\nPALESTINE BLUES is a story of survival, which documents 
 the\ngrassroots resistance movement that has sprung up against the Wall. 
 Featuring unforgettable characters and breathtaking footage, at times shot 
 under great duress, by the Palestinian Director Nida Sinnokrot, PALESTINE 
 BLUES  offers a unique, insider's look at the resilience and despondency 
 that characterize Palestinian life under occupation.\n\nThe film screening 
 is a benefit for the American-Arab \nAnti-Discrimination Committee, San 
 Francisco chapter (ADCSF) ADC is a national, grassroots organization 
 committed to defending and protecting the civil rights of Arab-Americans. 
 Locally, ADC-SF is actively engaged with the Arab, Muslim, and Progressive 
 communities and to counter discrimination, secure rights for immigrants and 
 act in solidarity with the people of Palestine and Lebanon. This summer, 
 the ADC-SF helped initiate the local Break The Siege campaign to end the 
 siege on Gaza and Lebanon.\n\nThis screening is part of an ongoing monthly 
 series showcasing radical films and supporting local organizing. Films are 
 shown on the patio at El Rio every month. Event is free, but donations 
 accepted. Space is wheelchair accessible, but  bathrooms are not. 21 and 
 over.\n\nThe HeadsUp Collective is a white anti-racist, 
 anti-imperialist\nproject. We are rooted in the global justice and anti-war 
 movements.\n\nWe work from the foundation that all people have the right 
 to\nhousing, food, health care, meaningful work, and healthy communities. 
 In short, we believe in the need for revolutionary change and the 
 liberation of all people from the systems of white supremacy, patriarchy, 
 capitalism,\nheterosexism, the gender binary system, and imperialism.\n\n
