[Sfbay-video] Occupation 101 - Tuesday, February 27, 2007

Following is the announcement of the event from

"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion
of knowledge"

With this quote from Steven Hawking, the makers of Occupation 101 lay
out a basic premise...that there is a dangerous amount of
misinformation about the current situation in what they call the Holy
Land and what many call Israel and Palestine, hand in hand with
misinformation about the history that has lead to the current
situation. When Occupation 101 screened in San Francisco as part of
the Arab Film Fest, the filmmakers were available for Q&A following
the film, and they said that they made the film with the USA and
Europe particularly in mind, because it is in these places that the
misinformation about the Holy Land is at it's worst.

Occupation 101  is a disturbing, gripping, and important film that
presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths
surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and dispels many of its
long-perceived myths and misconceptions. The film also details life
under Israeli military rule, the United States' role, and sheds light
on the major obstacles which stand in the way of a lasting and viable
peace.

On Tuesday, February 27, 2007, the Heads Up Collective is excited to
screen Occupation 101 as part of our Televising the Revolution Radical
Film series. The screening is a benefit forLeft Turn , an
international network of activists committed to exposing and fighting
the local and global consequences of capitalism and imperialism by
amplifying voices of those on the frontlines of radical struggles for
social justice and providing resources for strategy-building and
reflection through Left Turn magazine, www.leftturn.org, and
face-to-face forums.
