Friday, September 12, 2008, 7-9:30 PM Film: “CHILDREN OF ARMAGEDDON” (95 min, Fabienne Lips-Dumas, 2008) Because of recent U.S. politics, the reality of a nuclear threat is more and more present. This passionate and deeply moving account explores the legacy of nuclear arms around the world. CHILDREN OF ARMAGEDDON tells of the rewriting of history for the purposes of political opportunism, the reality of new nuclear arms, planetary contamination, the anti-missile shield program, and peace movements. From Hiroshima, the Marshall Islands, Tahiti, and New Zealand, to Vienna, Washington D.C., and Vancouver we hear the accounts of scientists, media and political experts, activists, and, of course, the descendants - who cling to the hope that their testimony can free us from the threat of sudden destruction. With the participation of: Noam Chomsky, Hans Blix, Judge C.G. Weeramantry, Arjun Makhijani, and Douglas Roche. The documentary is in two parts: CHILDREN OF ARMAGEDDON and MAY THE BOMB BE WITH YOU. Both parts will be shown. (Event is FREE and open to the public! ..but Donations are kindly accepted). |

Friday, September 19, 2008, 7-9:30 PM Film: “USA v. AL-ARIAN” (100 min, Line Halvorsen, 2007) With STEVEN REISLER and BERNICE FUNK from THE NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD “USA v. AL-ARIAN” details the disturbing bigotry in post-9/11 America and the political persecution of Dr. Sami AlArian for his speaking out for the human rights of Palestinians. The film follows the false arrest and trial of Dr. Al-Arian, the attempted destruction to his family and himself, and the travesty of the government’s unlawful attack on an awarded intellectual and compassionate man. For two-and-a-half years, Dr. Al-Arian was held in solitary confinement; he has been held 5 years. He was acquitted in a criminal trial, but was forced to a plea bargain to avoid a second false prosecution. The government now violates the plea agreement and will not release Dr. Al-Arian, but seeks to persecute him further. After living successfully more than 30 years in the US, Dr. Al-Arian has agreed to leave, but the vindictive prosecutor will not let him go. JOIN US FOR AN UPDATE ON THE TRIAL AND AN IN-DEPTH CONVERSATION ON ITS IMPACT ON ALL OF US. (Event is FREE and open to the public! ..but Donations are kindly accepted). |
