Beginning at 7:00 P.M. the program will be at the Palatine Public Library, 700 N. North Court, near the intersection of Northwest Highway and North Hicks Rd. The event will also serve as a one year anniversary celebration for the pro-Palestinian human rights group, and it will include poetry presentations.

"The Killing Zone" is an approximately one hour video filmed by Channel 4 news in England by their Dispatches news team. The reporter and producer risked their lives shooting this footage in the Gaza Strip earlier in the year. The film contains footage of Israeli military attacks on peace activists and James Miller, an award-winning cameraman from England. In one of the film's most disturbing points, Dispatches captures scenes in a Palestinian hospital minutes after Tom Hurndall was shot through the head while rescuing a seven-year-old child from Israeli military gunfire. Hurndall was a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement, which is now "banned" by the Israeli government.

After the film there will be a discussion led by Jonathan Coleman of Olympia, Washington, who is a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement. Coleman will depart for Palestine to work with the "banned" organization within the next few weeks. His connection with the Israel-Palestine situation is highly personal after a friend, Rachel Corrie, a 23 year old college student from Olympia, Washington was killed by Israeli Forces on March 16, 2003. Corrie was attempting to prevent the illegal demolition of a Palestinian home by the Israeli army when killed. Joining Coleman to discuss the film will be Kevin Clark, coordinator of Northwest Suburban SUSTAIN. Clark spent the first 21 days of this past January in Palestine working with the International Solidarity Movement.

The public is invited to attend this free event and anyone desiring more information may contact Northwest Suburban SUSTAIN at (847) 359-7267, or at SUSTAINnwburbs@aol.com.
