A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition Film Showing & Discussion
“Palestine Blues”
With a report and discussion on the current struggle in Gaza and the West Bank.
What is left for Palestinian farmers who learn that in twenty-four hours the Israeli army will confiscate their lands for the construction of “the West Bank Barrier?”
Unexpectedly filled with moments of poetry and humor, Palestine Blues tells the story of a village’s confusion and desperation; their daily victories and wrenching defeats. This award-winning documentary was shot over six months focusing on the farming village of Jayyous, bearing witness to the destruction of many of its homes, ancient olive groves and farming land, which were destroyed by the bulldozers and weaponry of the Israeli army in its inexorable charge to raise the “security” wall across occupied Palestine. With an insider’s access and heart-wrenching footage, sometimes shot from a hidden camera, Palestinian-American filmmaker, Nida Sinnokrat, humanizes the struggle of the Palestinian people whose stories are often forgotten by the mainstream media. 72min., 2006.
$6 donation (no one turned away for lack of funds)
