The Occupation Of The American Mind.
Thanks to everyone who came to the showing of the film 'The Occupation Of The American Mind: Israel's PR War In the US.'
The film showed the power of the Israeli lobby in distorting the media coverage of Israel's ocupation of Palestine. The film ended on a positive note showing a major growth in the opposition to Israeli apartheid, particularly amongst the younger generation, leading to a boost to the BDS (boycott, sanctions and divestment) movement.
Information, including DVD purchase.
