Refreshments *** I just read Jimmy Carter's article in the LA Times outlining his history, motives and positions on Palestine and Israel. The point about people in the U.S. being kept ignorant about Palestinian life and society relates to this rare opportunity to learn something. I heard Mohammed Omer this morning on Sonali Kolhatkar's show. He was iinformative, measured and calm' someone one can learn from. Take advantage of this, his final appearance in the area. -Ed Gaza on the Ground: Washington Report on Middle East Affairs presents.

In the 15-city tour, sponsored by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Omer will provide eyewitness accounts of the deteriorating situation in the Gaza Strip to the magazine's readers and the general public. As a photographer for Agence France-Presse (AFP), writer (for the Vermont Guardian, ArtVoice Weekly, Swedish dailies Dagen Nyheter and Aftonbladet, Norwegian dailies Dagbladet and Morgenbladet, the German daily junge Welt, the Basque daily Berria, and the Swedish magazine Arbetaren), radio/television correspondent (Free Speech Radio News, BBC and BBC Scotland radio, BBC News 24 TV, Norwegian national NRK TV), and widely read blogger (RafahToday.org ), Omer will use his many talents to describe life as a Palestinian journalist under occupation. The youngest member of the Gazan press corps, Omer was recently named winner of the New America Media's "Best Youth Voice" Award. He has experienced more pain, death, fear, destruction, hatred and despair in his 22 years than most people will experience in a lifetime. "Words are my weapon against injustice, hate, starvation and oppression," he explains. With his bulletproof vest and Cannon D20 in hand, Mohammed is on the front lines.

Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2006 10:25:50 -0700 Josefina Lopez, author of Real Women Have Curves, and Courage Productions invite you to celebrate the voices and visions of Latina filmmakers in the second annual Boyle Heights Latina Independent Film Extravaganza (BHLIFE). BHLIFE will be a celebration of Latinas, their voices and their visions. The mission of the festival is to build a network of Latina filmmakers that will draw attention to the growing number of Latinas working behind the camera. The films of these Latinas constitute a body of work that will act as a powerful statement against the stereotypical portrayals of Latinas on screen. Films will be screened in the categories of youth media, feature length dramas, feature length documentaries, dramatic shorts, documentary shorts, experimental shorts, and erotica. Over 50 films are featured in the festival. These come from local Boyle Heights artists as well as from filmmakers representing diverse Latino communities throughout the country. The cities represented include Boston, New York, Chicago, Tucson, Houston, Austin, San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles. The festival will begin with a screening of the feature length film, Buscando a Leti, a film that addresses the immigrant experience from the point of view of those that are left behind, in this case, children in Mexico. This opening night event will include a discussion of current immigration legislation. The film's director will be present and USC Professor Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, whose research focuses on Mexican undocumented immigration and transnational families, will facilitate the discussion. The film festival will take place at CASA 0101 Theatre, 2009 East First Street in Boyle Heights - December 8-10, 2006.
