DESCRIPTION:Laila’s Birthday from Palestine (2008) 71 min., Palestine\nBy Rashid 
 Masharawi\n Join the United Taxicab Workers Union-CWA who will be screening 
 “Laila’s Birthday.” The film by director Rashid Masharawi is about 
 the day in the life of a former judge, now a taxi cab driver in Ramallah. 
 What is life like for taxi drivers in Palestine? This says it all about 
 their jobs and and the lives of their passengers. The absurdity of two 
 states and two laws in one land and the battle for survival are combined in 
 a film that shows the contradictions. It has been called “A dark urban 
 comedy.”\n The UTW fights for the rights of San Francisco cab drivers who 
 are fighting for healthcare, a living wage and union rights with decent 
 working conditions.\n United Taxi Workers http://www.utw.us/\n
