12 Noon & 7p.m. (Potluck at 6:30)
Video Presentation: “Encounter Point” at the Fresno Center for Nonviolence, 1584 N. Van Ness. This film is about a Palestinian ex-prisoner, a former Israeli settler, a bereaved Israeli mother and a wounded Palestinian bereaved brother, who risk their lives and public standing to promote a nonviolent end to the conflict. Their journeys lead them to the unlikeliest places to confront hatred within their communities. This film explores what drives them and thousands of other like-minded civilians to overcome anger and grief to work for grassroots solution. And why is it, with the world’s camera focused on this conflict, we have never heard of them? It is a film about everyday leaders in our midst. Ultimately, the strength of this film does not lie in its hopeful presentation of the group’s aims but in its accurate rendition of the group members with all their human sadness, determination and naivete. Their stories, Israeli and Palestinian, are heart rending. Wheelchair accessible. FREE. For info: 237-3223
