Upstate is screening the film opening on the 23rd of October- in it's Kingston midtown theater
let's fill the house!

Today in Focus: NAZA: the film Israel does not want you to see - video: 'Journalism is not treason' Annie Kelly, Laurence Topham, Alex Atack, Ben Kape and Homa Khaleeli at The Guardian

Oscar-winning filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor discuss their new documentary, NAZA, which exposes the AI systems that the Israeli military uses to rain down strikes on Gaza, causing the mass killing of civilians. Based on the testimony of 24 military insiders, the documentary caused uproar in Israel, with the government threatening to strip the filmmakers of their citizenship. The Guardian's Annie Kelly talks to the directors about how the film was made, and the price they paid for speaking out.

Free Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya

We the Undersigned call for Freedom for Palestinian

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya

On December 27, 2024, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital and his remaining hospital staff, finally surrendered to Israeli forces. By then, Kamal Adwan had been made inoperable by the IDF who threatened worse destruction. Dr. Abu Safiya has been in a series of Israeli prisons ever since. His attorney says he’s lost a third of his body weight and has suffered assault and beatings. He has not been charged with any crime but is being held under a dubious Israeli “Unlawful Combatants” provision. No evidence has been offered that he’s a combatant of any kind. Amnesty International calls for Abu Safiya’s release.
