Australian Exclusive screening of Rachel [ Friday 15th Mar 2013 , State Library of Victoria, Time : 6:30pm ]
On March 16 2003, 23 year old American university student Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an armored Israeli military bulldozer as she tried to prevent the demolition of Palestinian homes in the Gaza Strip.
To commemorate the tenth anniversary of Rachel Corrie’s death, the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid and Australians for Palestine are proud to present the Australian exclusive screening of Simone Bitton’s movie Rachel.
The film will be introduced by Michael Shaik, who was working with Rachel Corrie in the International Solidarity Movement at the time of her death.
Michael has worked for a peaceful solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict since 2003, when he was the Media Coordinator for the International Solidarity Movement, an organisation that works with Palestinians to non-violently resist the occupation.
He was one of the founders of the international FREE GAZA campaign to break Israel's maritime blockade of the Gaza Strip and worked as the Public Advocate for Australians for Palestine from 2007 to 2010.
He is a contributor to three books on the role of non-violent direct action in the struggle for Palestinian independence and has commented on Israeli-Palestinian affairs for The Age, The Australian, The Canberra Times, ABC Radio National and SBS television and radio.
He is currently a volunteer with the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid, a Melbourne-based organisation that seeks to promote public awareness and support for the Palestinians' struggle for freedom.
