Walk the streets of Hebron’s Old City with members of CPT’s Palestine team. This film is a special window into Palestinian resistance and resilience, from CPTer’s clandestine filming through checkpoints and brave confrontation of soldiers, to the legacy of the martyrs Haj Sulaiman and Hashem al Azzah, to the lives of Nisreen and Tareq who continue the struggle.
Purchasing a ticket for $50 gets you a link to watch the film and an exclusive zoom link to join the online premiere event featuring the film’s director, CPTer Ahmad Abu Monshar and the rest of the CPT-Palestine team. Go to www.cpt.org for details.
(Kryss Chupp can organize a Wellington screening of the film sometime after the premiere, but you won’t get a chance to meet the Palestine team!)
You are invited to help build a louder voice for justice in Palestine, and for freedom and safety for our Palestinian brothers and sisters.
