 screening of the film will be followed by discussions with the 
 audience.\n\nAfter returning from a trip to the Middle East in 1950, 
 Dorothy Thompson, a civil rights advocate and journalist, introduces this 
 film and emphasizes the need for providing immediate relief to suffering 
 Palestinian refugees to avoid starvation and “ugly political 
 consequences.” The film was produced by a charitable organization called 
 the Council for Relief of Palestinian Arab Refugees. It is believed to be 
 the first documentary film to highlight the plight of Palestinians in the 
 aftermath of the 1948 Nakba. It was mainly intended to encourage Americans 
 to donate for the relief effort. Black and white film, directed by Theodore 
 A. Morde and narrated by John S. Martin. Runtime is 28 
 minutes.\n\n=================================================================\n\nCALL
