FOUR SHORT FILMS
Presented by Steve Zeltzer
LaborFest

THE MISSION

This film is about a delegation of European trade unionists who travel to the region to investigate the conditions of Palestinian workers. http://www.odaction.org

MEETING FACE TO FACE: THE IRAP-U.S. SOLIDARITY TOUR

This film directed by Jonathan Levin tells the story of the Iraqi trade union visit to the United States and the response it received. The film breaks through media walls that keep Iraqi and labor voices out of the debate about the war in the U.S. It brings the voices of Iraqi working people directly into the conversation as we consider the war and the continuing occupation and what the next steps should be. In this film we also see American working people bringing new energy and commitment to the movement for peace, social justice, and a humane foreign policy.
