Film Screening of Bil'in, Habibti

Dec 7th, 7pm
Location TBD

Bil'in is facing being divided by the Israeli safety fence and more than half of the village is about to be absorbed by a neighboring Jewish settlement. The villagers confront the Israeli army with creative, weekly demonstrations and direct actions. The army replies with arrests, tear gas, and bullets. Armed with a camera, the Israeli director Pollack comes to Bil'in as an activist. During his stay, Bil'in turns into a symbol of resistance against the safety fence and the Israeli Occupation.

A discussion will follow the screening.
