BRISTOL ISM FILMS
(Mon 17th / 7:30pm / £3 waged, £2 unwaged ( no one turned away through lack of funds)

An evening of Palestinian films & discussion raising money
for the International Solidarity Movement.

Showing first tonight is A JOB TO WIN ( Video 48 2003 ) This eye-opening film tells the story of Arab construction workers in Israel who lost their jobs in the nineties. It records the struggle they are waging to gain them back, with the help of the Nazereth based Workers Advice Center (WAC). The film will be introduced by the Bristol Against Casualisation Campaign as part of the Temporary Workers Week.

The main feature is THE KILLING ZONE ( Jordan/Vasquez 2003 ). It reveals the shocking level of daily violence and murderous hate in the Gaza
Strip. It deals head on with the deaths of Rachel Corrie, a peace
activist crushed to death by an IDF bulldozer whilst trying to prevent a Palestinian home from being demolished; Tom Hurndall who was shot in the head whilst escorting children to school; and James Millar a cameraman who worked extensively for Channel 4, killed as he filmed Israeli troops
bulldozing Palestinian homes. It reveals what life is like in what has become a fully blown war zone.
