Event Description:
June 5, 2007 marks the 40th anniversary of Israel's illegal and immoral occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the Syrian Golan Heights. The film, THE IRON WALL, depicts the demeaning, demoralizing and brutal treatment of the Palestinian people at the hands of Israeli soldiers acting on orders of the Israeli government. More about the film at http://www.theironwall.ps/aboutfilm.html>www.theironwall.ps/aboutfilm.html We invite you to watch this informative but disturbing 52 minute documentary, THE IRON WALL, which vividly depicts how the Israeli government systematically displaces and expels an indigenous people and appropriates land to Israeli settlers. Over 200 settlements and outposts have been built and occupied in direct violation of international law and at the expense of a contiguous and viable Palestinian entity. REFRESHMENTS: Come early at 6:30 pm and bring non-messy food and drinks to share, like chips, dips, salsa, coookies etc. Film starts at 7:30 pm. PLEASE R.S.V.P. to Bob Carter - by noon June 5th so we have enough chairs for everyone.

Event Description:
AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man's fervent crusade to halt global warming's deadly progress in its tracks by exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround it. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on a last-ditch, all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. In this eye-opening and poignant portrait of Gore and his "traveling global warming show," Gore also proves himself to be one of the most misunderstood characters in modern American public life. Here he is seen as never before in the media - funny, engaging, open and downright on fire about getting the surprisingly stirring truth about what he calls our "planetary emergency" out to ordinary citizens before it's too late. A guest speaker will be on hand for a questions and answer session following the film.

Join the Houston Institute for Culture for a free double screening of the documentaries "The Power of Community? How Cuba Survived Peak Oil" and "Independent Intervention - breaking silence" 7 p.m. Saturday June 16, The Havens Center, 1827 W. Alabama. "Independent Intervention" will screen again 7 p.m. Sunday, June 17 at the Havens Center. www.houstonculture.org/film
Independent Intervention is an award-winning documentary about United States media coverage of the conflict in Iraq. Focusing on the human costs of war, it contrasts corporate-controlled media coverage of the
invasion of Iraq with independent media reports of the brutal realities on the ground.
Through discussions with media experts including Amy Goodman, Noam Chomsky, Dahr Jamail, Danny Schechter, David Barsamian, Kalle Lasn, Norman Solomon, and James Zogby, the film investigates important
issues and systems that govern today's information flow, and shows how these systems of control reveal themselves during times of political turmoil and war.
Independent Intervention also includes commentary by Howard Zinn, Arundhati Roy, Bill Moyers, Michael Moore, and Jeremy Scahill.
