Cambridge PSC is hosting the showing of two films. ‘Shooting the Messenger’ 2022 (13 minutes) is a short documentary about the deliberate killing and intimidation of Palestinian journalists, including Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh. The second film, ‘A story of Ethnic Cleansing’ 2022 (17 minutes), documents the ethnic cleansing of Al Arakeeb village in the Naqab desert, which has been destroyed 204 times by the Israeli army.
The Director, Musheir El-Farra, will introduce the films and take questions after their screening. Production was by Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign, photography and editing were done in the Gaza Strip by the Palestinian Vanguard Channel. The event is free, with opportunity to donate towards specific children’s projects in the Gaza Strip.
Being Young in Palestine
Date: Monday 30th May
Time: 7 pm
Location: Jesus Lane Quaker Meeting House, 12 Jesus Lane, Cambridge
Youth workers from Palestine are here as guests of Camden Abu Dis Friendship Association. They are part of CADFA’s ‘Building Hope’ project. Growing up in occupied Palestine means facing systematic discrimination, denial and abuse of your basic human rights, continuous surveillance and the raw violence of home demolitions, detentions, injuries, and deaths. How do young Palestinians cope? Come and hear from youth workers visiting from Jenin and Ramallah. And help build support for justice for the Palestinian people.
Help CADFA raise the money to bring Palestinian youth workers and young people to the UK this summer to meet young people, share experiences together and tell each other about their lives. Please donate to the Just giving page on the QR code or at:
