Art as Resistance Double Feature with discussion

Film showings of Life is Beautiful (1997) and The Time That Remains (2009) with a film discussion at the end. The event is free with QR codes to donate to Gaza Soup Kitchen ( https://gazasoupkitchen.com/ ) and Gaza City Mutual Aid ( https://chuffed.org/project/136890-gaza-city-flour-mutual-aid-help-us-feed-local-families ) if anyone wants to donate. I'll be handing out sheets with discussion questions, the QR codes, and a suggested reading list of books centered around the films, and the discussions. I'll include the suggested reading here too in case anyone wants to read before the event.
