As the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and search for a just peace goes
on, this film series makes an attempt to raise issues related to the

the occupation, and explore the activities and approaches that offer
some promise of the reconciliation and peace between Israelis and
Palestinians.
"Jenin, Jenin"
Friday, Nov. 7th at 7:00 pm
SJSU, Science Building, Room 142
Winner "Best Film" Carthage International Film Festival 2002
"Jenin, Jenin" shows the extent to which the prolonged oppression and
terror has affected the state of mind of the Palestinian inhabitants
of the Jenin refugee camp.
Banned in Israel, "Jenin, Jenin" is dedicated to Iyad Samudi, the
producer
of the film, who was shot dead by Israeli soldiers on June 23rd,
2002, as he returned home after completing the film.
Listen to the old men, the children, the doctors and the grieving
mothers of Jenin, after the Israeli Army's April 2002 attack
flattened homes and buried an unknown number of civilians. Bitterness
and grief are the prevailing feelings among the majority of the
population.
A little girl, who does not seem to be much older than twelve, tells
her story but knows no fear. The ongoing violence in her day-to-day
life only nourishes her feelings of hatred and the urge to take
revenge. She shouts that the Palestinians will never give up the
struggle, that they will keep on producing children who can continue
the fight against injustice.
