DESCRIPTION:Perhaps the ultimate anti-war film. A compelling film about 
 war.”\n–Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter\n\nWinner: Human Rights 
 Award – Al Jazeera International Documentary Festival\n\nDisturbing, 
 powerful and emotionally devastating, Tears of Gaza is less a conventional 
 documentary than a shocking record: of the 2008-2009 3-week bombing of Gaza 
 by the Israeli military (backed by the U.S., using US-made weapons). 
 Photographed by several Palestinian cameramen both during and after the 
 offensive, this powerful film by Norwegian director Vibeke Løkkeberg 
 focuses on the impact of the attacks on the civilian population. Similar 
 events certainly occurred in Dresden, Tokyo, Baghdad and Sarajevo, but of 
 course Gaza isn’t those places. Tears of Gaza demands that we examine the 
 costs of war on a civilian populace. (Excerpted mostly from Steve 
 Gravestock, 2011 Toronto International Film Festival)\n\nFollowing the film 
 is a panel discussion/update, with:\nZiad Abbas -- MECA Associate Director, 
 from Dheisheh Refugee Camp\nIman Almaqousi -- former resident of 
 Gaza\nBarbara Lubin -- MECA Director, brought aid to Gaza during the 2008-9 
 assault, as well as right after the November 2012 attack \n
