Jeremy Hardy v The Israeli Army - a film about the International Solidarity Movement in Palestine will be playing at the Shefield Showroom on the 2nd of August at 6:45 pm and on the 3rd of August at 6:20 pm.
Jeremy Hardy v. The Israeli Army, a feature documentary about the International Solidarity Movement in Palestine as experienced through the eyes of British comedian Jeremy Hardy.
This dark comedic documentary narrated by Hardy is a story of an unlikely person put in extraordinary circumstances. Hardy teamed up with producer/director Leila Sansour and other members of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in an effort to try his hand at ending occupation of the West Bank. Hardy could only describe the next four days of filming as "four days in hell".
The footage captured covers everything from the standoff at Yasser Arafat's compound to the siege at the Church of the Nativity. It gives an inside look into the operations and birth of the ISM and the stories that were never reported in last year's news bulletins.
Leila Sansour, the director of the film will be in Sheffield for a Q&A after the film on 2nd August. Leila can be contacted at this address:
leilasansour@waitrose.com
There is more information about the film on it's web site:

Leila also said, she is very sorry she can't come, but has committed herself to the screenings and the ISM Orientation, Nonviolent Resistance of Occupation training day in Edinburgh, and the train timetable don't allow her to stop by before she has to be in London for another screening.
