RESCHEDULED – NEW LOCATION “Rachel” the film w/ panel with Corries
Due to weather this event on March 13 has been rescheduled. The same organizers are moving the event to happen on March 16 at Cherry Street Village, 720 – 25th Ave, Seattle.
Join the Palestine Narrates film series for a screening and discussion of Rachel (2009) to mark Rachel Corrie’s 23rd yarzheit – the anniversary of her death. The investigative documentary, made 6 years after Rachel’s killing by an Israeli armored bulldozer, shows the life, activism, and legacy of a young international solidarity activist from Olympia.
After the movie, Rachel’s parents, Craig and Cindy Corrie, and representatives of the International Solidarity Movement, a Palestinian-led non-violent resistance movement which guided Rachel’s activism in Gaza, will offer their thoughts and answer audience questions. As always, the Nablus Collection will bring Nabulsi olive oil, soap, za’atar and other items.
This film will bring up themes of international solidarity, the double meanings of witness/shaheed/martyr, and the continuities in Gaza from 2009 to today. We hope to see you and your beloveds there.
Palestine Narrates is a project of JVP Seattle.
This event is free and open to the public.
