Hope to see Evanston and Chicago area folks at tomorrow night's screening of this powerful documentary about Palestinian life under Israeli occupation.

The documentary will be followed by a question-and-answer session led by Tarek Muhammad Khalil, an attorney for the Council on American Islamic Relations Chicago.
