Description: FILM SCREENING: This Palestinian Life
Friday Feb. 6, 2009 Egyptian peace activist Philip Rizk was abducted and detained for four days by Egyptian police at a peaceful solidarity march for Gaza just north of Cairo. [see NYT article]
After Rizk was released, he expressed the wish for all the attention his arrest received to be transferred to the crisis in Gaza.
Keeping with these requests, Rizk\’s documentary, This Palestinian Life, will have its New York-debut this Tuesday, Feb. 17 at All Angel\’s Church in Manhattan.
This Palestinian Life shares stories of nonviolent struggle in Palestinian rural communities in the face of the Israeli occupation. Filmmaker Philip Rizk meets with villagers in the Gaza Strip, Jordan Valley, and the South Hebron Hills who have endured home demolitions, imprisonment, settler attacks, and other forms of oppression that threaten their very way of life.
This film exposes the rarely told story of community-based resistance against the unjust policies of an occupying state.
This event is sponsored by the New York Faith and Justice (NYF&J) and All Angel\’s Church in Manhattan. There will be a discussion with film co-creator Julie Norman following the screening.
