In honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King on King Memorial Weekend we proudly present a special free community screening of the feature length documentary film Al-Helm: Martin Luther King in Palestine. (al-helm means "the dream" in Arabic)
SYNOPSIS: An African American gospel choir is the Greek chorus for a Palestinian play on Martin Luther King which tours the West Bank preaching nonviolence. The choir is apprehensive about working with Palestinians whose American media image is that of angry, violent terrorists. For the Palestinians actors, Americans are unconditional supporters of their occupiers. It is a personal and cultural exchange where, over the course of the journey, their ideas about each other are radically transformed.
The trailer can be viewed at ClarityFilms.org/mlk
A free-will offering will be accepted.
