DESCRIPTION:PALESTINE IS STILL THE ISSUE\n\nDocumentary by John Pilger\n\nIn 1974, John 
 Pilger made the film Palestine Is Still The Issue.  It was about a nation 
 of people ─ the Palestinians ─ forced off their land and later 
 subjected to a military occupation by Israel.  An occupation condemned by 
 the United Nations and almost every country in the world, including 
 Britain.  But Israel is backed by a very powerful friend, the United 
 States.  In 2002 Pilger made another film of the same name.  He said that 
 nothing had changed in 25 years regarding the great injustice.  What had 
 changed, however, is that the Palestinians have fought back.  Stateless and 
 humiliated for so long, Palestinians have risen up against Israel's huge 
 military machine, although they themselves have no arms, no tanks, and no 
 American planes and gun ships or missiles.  Some Palestinians committed 
 desperate acts of terror, like suicide bombing.  But for most Palestinians, 
 the overriding, routine terror, day after day, has been the ruthless 
 control of almost every aspect of their lives, as if they live in an open 
 prison.  This evening's film is the story of the Palestinians and a group 
 of courageous Israelis united in the oldest human struggle ─ to be 
 free.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the block at  411  28th  
 Street\n\nBefore and after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our 
 vegetarian organic refreshments\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n\n
