DESCRIPTION:Oscar-Nominated "Paradise Now" in Oakland\nThursday, March 9, 2006\n\nThe 
 Middle East Children's Alliance will show the Oscar-nominated Palestinian 
 film “Paradise Now” at a special screening at Oakland’s Grand Lake 
 Theatre (3200 Grand Avenue) on Thursday, March 9 at 7:30pm. Discussion to 
 follow.\n\nAs always, MECA is raising funds for Palestinian children, so 
 we’re asking for a “minimum suggested donation” of $10 at the 
 door.\n\n“Paradise Now” is Palestinian director Hani Abu-Assad's film 
 about two young men who are enlisted for a suicide bombing mission in 
 Israel. It beat out films from France, China and South Africa to win the 
 Golden Globe award for best foreign film. In his acceptance speech Abu- 
 Assad thanked his staff, saying it was a landmark for the Palestinian 
 nation on its way to equality and freedom. The film has won a plethora of 
 international prizes, including the "European Oscar" and best film award at 
 the Holland film festival. Last month the screenplay won the European film 
 academy award, and it has been nominated as the Palestinian entry for the 
 Oscar's Best Foreign Film award.\n\n
