Film screening:
People from Yanoun by Cathrine Shammas et J.Claude
Perron followed by a
discussion with Cathrine Shammas
An offer of help from Israeli and international
activists opposed to the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories,
allowed the Palestinian inhabitants of Yanoun to move back to their village.
They had been forcibly evicted by violent settlers who have confiscated almost
all of their lands. These Palestinians give a dignified account of their daily
struggle to survive. They live under the permanent threat of attack but despite
their
bitterness, anguish and despair they try to continue with their lives.
Life goes on in a world, they feel, has abandoned them.
Catherine Shammas, the co-author, is
French-Palestinian doctor. She facilitated and conducted the interviews with the
villagers of Yanoun.
