What: Come join LCPME (Louisville Committee for Peace in the Middle East) as they screen the film "Arna's Children": Arna's Children is a documentary about Arna, an Israeli woman, and the Palestinian children she loved and taught. Arna moved to Jenin refugee camp and began an alternative Palestinian education system after Israel shut down their school system. She directed a theatre group for these children as a healthy outlet for the frustrations, anger, and fear while living under occupation. Two years after Arna died of cancer, her son, a famous actor in Israel, returned to Jenin to see what had happened to Arna's children. The film is his documentation their stories and as he tries to make sense out of the decisions they made. It is a riveting human story about one woman's determination to lessen the tragedy for children living under occupation, and the inevitable path these children are on without intervention.
