Join Jewish Voice for Peace - Twin Cities (JVP-TC) for the screening of “Gaza Fights for Freedom,” a film by the journalist, author and documentarist, Abby Martin.

This film documents the Gaza protest movement, known as the Great March of Return, which began in 2018 and continued through last year, during which the Israeli Defense Forces killed more than 200 unarmed Palestinian civilians and injured tens of thousands more. Through her collaboration with videographers and journalists on the ground in Gaza, Martin was able to put together a compelling and important documentary that mainstream media outlets relying on Israeli government sources, cannot provide. Throughout the film historical context and statistics are given to allow the viewer to understand the situation in the tiny area of land known as the Gaza Strip.

Light snacks and discussion will follow the screening, along with a chance to meet JVP members, pick up literature and purchase our awesome new t-shirts.
