Jenin Jenin
Directed by Palestinian filmmaker Mohammed Bakri, "Jenin Jenin" shows the aftermath of the Israeli Army's April 2002 incursion into Jenin, which left dozens of Palestinians dead. The film documents the reactions and emotions of the residents in Jenin as they try to cope with the attack as well as day-to-day life under occupation. Banned in Israel, "Jenin Jenin" is dedicated to Iyad Samudi, the producer of the film, who returned home to Yamun after the shooting of the film was completed and was shot and killed by Israeli forces.
The film is co-sponsored by the Bush Is Taking the Shirts Off Our Backs to Pay for This War Coalition and will be shown on Tuesday, July 1, at 7 p.m. at Visions Cinema/Bistro/Lounge, 1927 Florida Ave. NW. In addition to "Jenin Jenin," short films by local filmmakers will also be screened. Tickets are $9.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
