The LATEST INDEPENDENT FILMS from PALESTINE + speakers

"IN THE SPIDER'S WEB" has many moving scenes, such as when a young child tries to call her dead father on the telephone. He was killed by sustained machine-gun fire at an Israeli army checkpoint, after the family had been allowed to pass.

PLUS other films by Palestinians about their struggle, includng "The Caged Bird Sings", featuring students and teachers from Birzeit University describing their daily struggle through the checkpoints to get to their classes.

We will have speakers from the Oxford-Ramallah Link and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Come and find out how we can support the Palestinian people in practical ways.
