SUMMARY:Free Film Screening “My Neighborhood”
DESCRIPTION:Free Online Virtual Event \nClick Here to Register for Event. Free Event but Registration is Required. \nClick here to view the film trailer. \nSYNOPSIS \nMohammed El Kurd is a Palestinian boy growing up in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah in the heart of East Jerusalem. When Mohammed turns 11\, his family is forced to give up part of their home to Israeli settlers\, who are leading a campaign of court-sanctioned evictions to guarantee Jewish control of the area. \nShortly after their displacement\, Mohammed’s family and other residents begin peacefully protesting against the evictions\, determined not to lose their homes for good. In a surprising turn\, they are quickly joined by scores of Israeli supporters who are horrified to see what is being done in their name. Among them is Jewish West Jerusalem resident Zvi Benninga and his sister Sara\, who develop a strong relationship with Mohammed and his family as they take on a leading role in organizing the protests. \nThrough their personal stories\, My Neighbourhood goes beyond the sensational headlines that normally dominate discussions of Jerusalem and captures voices rarely heard\, of those striving for a shared future in the city. \nMy Neighbourhood follows Mohammed as he comes of age in the midst of unrelenting tension and remarkable cooperation in his backyard. Highlighting Mohammed’s own reactions to the highly volatile situation\, reflections from family members and other evicted residents\, accounts of Israeli protesters and interviews with Israeli settlers\, the film chronicles the resolve of a neighbourhood and the support it receives from the most unexpected of places. \nMy Neighbourhood is directed and produced by Rebekah Wingert-Jabi\, who documented Mohammed’s story over two years\, and acclaimed filmmaker Julia Bacha. It is the latest production by Just Vision\, an award-winning team of Palestinian\, Israeli\, North and South American filmmakers\, journalists and human rights advocates dedicated to telling the stories of Israelis and Palestinians working nonviolently to achieve security\, freedom and peace.

SUMMARY:Club Book Author Series:  Laila Lalami
DESCRIPTION:Moroccan American novelist Laila Lalami uses fiction as a vehicle to showcase “overlooked” North African stories and experiences. Notable examples include her 2014 breakout The Moor’s Account\, which reconstructs the journeys of the New World’s first explorer of color. It won the American Book Award and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Lalami’s follow-up\, The Other Americans\, centers around the mysterious death of a Moroccan immigrant in California. Equal parts family drama\, murder mystery\, and love story\, The Other Americans was singled out by media as varied as the BBC and BuzzFeed as one of the most anticipated releases of 2019. Lalami’s new release\, Conditional Citizens\, is something of a departure. In this deeply personal exposé\, the author uses her own unlikely immigration story as an entrée for explore the hot-button question: What does it mean to be American? One reviewer noted: “Probing\, unflinching and fiercely intelligent\, Conditional Citizens is a must-read for all of those who have stared\, stunned\, at the shifting terrain of our political landscape and wondered how we got here.” \n**Not clear which time zone this is taking place\, I believe it’s 7pm Central Time.**
