ARCATA– Let’s Talk About the Middle East Film Screening: THE WANTED 18 (2015, Palestine)

ARCATA– As part of the Let’s Talk About the Middle East film and discussion series, Humboldt State University History professor Dr. Leena Dallasheh hosts a screening of The Wanted 18 (2015, Palestine).  Combining creative animation with a story-telling and documentary reporting style, this film follows how 18 cows became Israel’s most wanted fugitives and symbols of Palestinian resistance. A true story of a Palestinian community in the town of Beit Sahour, near Bethlehem, during the Intifada, the Palestinian uprising in the 1980s-1990s, the film is comical and evocative.  The screening and discussion will take place at The Miniplex at Richards’ Goat (401 I Street, Arcata)  Free and open to all ages.  For more information, contact Leena Dallasheh, Project Director at ld1145@humboldt.edu  https://www.facebook.com/events/170392920402834/ This project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
