Palestine films coming to Oxford
takeaction | 19.10.2003 23:22 | Repression | Social Struggles | Oxford
Each evening will begin with a film screening: we have selected three of the most perceptive and engaging films on life for Palestinians. In the second part of each evening, there will be a question and answer session with representatives from three voluntary organisations that are associated with the contexts depicted in the films: the International Solidarity Movement; Palestine Solidarity Campaign and UniPal. Two of the film directors, Omar Al-Qattan and Leila Sansour, are also able to join us.
