COST: *FREE* DATE: March 2 TIME: 1 pm EST / 8pm Palestine ABOUT THE FILM: “Inspired by a day in the life of Palestinian painter Ismail Shammout, Ismail tells the story of a young man struggling to support his parents after their expulsion to a Refugee camp in 1948”. This is a tender hearted film with minimal depictions of violence.

ABOUT PAB: “Palestinian Arabic Bridge” We are a mutual aid project working to connect those who want to learn Arabic with Palestinians in the West Bank who are offering online Palestinian Arabic lessons, conversation practice, and cultural lessons. Every penny goes directly into the teachers hands. All admin and marketing is done through an entirely volunteer basis.

Right now, we are looking to raise a small amount of funds so that we can extend PAB’s reach to more prospective students. There will be an opportunity to donate whatever you can or to help us spread the word in other ways.
