Our December movie will be the 2018 documentary _Killing Gaza_. The following description comes from their own website at killinggaza.com:
"In Killing Gaza, independent journalists Max Blumenthal and Dan Cohen documented Israel’s 2014 war on Gaza.
Yet this film is much more than a documentary about Palestinian resilience and suffering. It is a chilling visual document of war crimes committed by the Israeli military, featuring direct testimony and evidence from the survivors."
We thought it would be a timely reminder that what the Israeli military is doing in the Occupied Territories of Palestine right now is nothing new. The Gaza Strip, in particular, has been described as an "open-air prison" for the last 15 years because of the brutal conditions of the Israeli blockade. Unfortunately, mainstream U.S. media is so overwhelmingly pro-Israeli that it's rare to get any of this context from the big news outlets. We hope that our friends will continue to seek out more independent voices and perspectives like those being offered in _Killing Gaza_. Discussion will follow the film.
This event is free and open to the public. The Black Cat House welcomes all ages, and is a drug and alcohol-free venue. To help keep everyone safe and healthy, we ask that all guests wear face masks in our space. We are wheelchair accessible.
