www.pgh-psc.org

For the first time, Pittsburgh hosts a film series featuring documentaries, shorts and feature films narrating the Palestinian story. Ten works will screen between October 21 and December 2, 2005, coordinated by the Pittsburgh Palestine Solidarity Committee and the Students for Justice in Palestine. Funding has been provided through a generous grant from the Three Rivers Community Foundation.

Each film will be introduced by local students from Gaza, the West Bank and Israel or local community members each having their own stories about when they began to identify with the Palestinian people.

Visit the Pittsburgh Palestine Solidarity Committee website at www.pgh-psc.org for complete listing of guest speakers, moderators, film descriptions, maps to film venues, and links to informative websites.

Please join us in this journey to learn and seek a glimpse of what it means to be a Palestinian. Donations of $3.00 will be accepted during all showings
