DESCRIPTION:With an introduction by Richard Becker, author of "Palestine, Israel and 
 the U.S. Empire" who traveled to Jenin in May 2002 following the 
 massacre.\n\nARNA’S CHILDREN tells the story of a theatre group that was 
 established in the West Bank by Arna Mer Khamis. Arna—born into a Zionist 
 family—married Palestinian Arab, Saliba Khamis, in the 1950s and opened 
 an alternative education system for children whose regular life was 
 disrupted by the Israeli occupation. The theatre group helped the children 
 express their everyday frustrations, anger, bitterness and fear. Arna’s 
 son Juliano, director of this film, was also a director of Jenin’s 
 theatre. He filmed the children during rehearsal periods from 1989 to 1996 
 and later went back to find that Yussef had committed a suicide attack in 
 Hadera in 2001, Ashraf was killed in the battle of Jenin, and Alla leads a 
 resistance group. Shifting back and forth in time, the film reveals the 
 tragedy and horror of lives trapped by the circumstances of the Israeli 
 occupation. (85 min., 2004)\n\nOn April 4, 2011, Juliano was assassinated 
 in Jenin close to the Freedom Theatre. His assassination was met with 
 universal condemnation. He left behind a legacy of bravery, contempt for 
 all barriers and an undying commitment to cultural resistance and his art.
