The third annual Boston Palestine Film Festival, already in progress, continues through Sunday, November 1, 2009. Each day there are several different films, some short, some feature-length. Their showings are distributed among three different venues including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Harvard, and Kendall Square Theatre in Cambridge.
We decided that it might be worthwhile to hear descriptions of some of the films yet to run. We are honored that BPFF's distinguished coordinator, Salma Abu Ayyash, agreed to spend time with us describing these fabulous films and the stories and the people behind them. It is remarkable what we can learn of the lives and the suffering of Palestinians through the medium of their own art.
Salma invites us to go to bostonpalestinefilmfest.org for up-to-the-minute current scheduling and descriptive information.

This Week In Palestine (a weekly part of Truth and Justice Radio) is (normally) a three-quarter-hour segment of news from Palestine and discussion of issues relevant to the Palestinians' struggle for freedom from Israel's brutal military occupation and colonization, and now bombing, devastation, imprisonment, and murder, of their homeland, thanks in part to U.S. taxpayer funding.
It's part of Truth and Justice Radio, aired Sundays 6-9:30am ET on WZBC 90.3FM, Newton, MA, streaming (and also archived for two weeks) at wzbc.org. Our website, truthandjusticeradio.org, links to audio archives of 2008/2009 editions of This Week In Palestine; most editions are also obtainable from radio4all.net by typing "This Week In Palestine" into the search box.
The most important message we repeat is that all caring humans must GET INVOLVED!
