CPSC weekly update 13 November 2024

We have a number of very interesting events and activities coming up which we hope you will be able to support. Highlights include: Norman Finklestein coming to speak - see below for details( tickets selling very fast! ) and the showing of the Palestinian film' From Ground Zero' , both on 29 November.

' From Ground Zero' brings together 22 short films created by talented filmmakers from Gaza. Launched by renowned Palestinian filmmaker, Rashid Masharawi, the initiative was born against the backdrop of conflict and provides a platform for young artists to express themselves through their craft. Each short film presents a unique perspective on the current reality in Gaza. A must see film !

As always please share the information with others so we can maximise attendance at events.
