The Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA), together with Students 
for Justice in Palestine (SJP Ryerson), Students Against Israeli 
Apartheid – UofT St. George, and UofT Divest, invite you to a screening 
of /Gaza Calling/, a documentary by Nahed Awwad. Inspired by the 
director’s own experiences, the film captures the personal costs faced 
by Palestinian families torn apart by arbitrary Israeli barriers within 
their own country.

In addition to the film, there will be a brief report back from the June 
2016 fact-finding trip to Palestine by a group of Modern Languages 
Association (MLA) members who travelled to the Occcupied Territories to 
investigate the conditions for students and faculty under occupation. 
University of Toronto Professor Rebecca Comay was one of the MLA members 
on this trip and a co-author of the report. Their eyewitness report 
documents the difficult and deteriorating conditions that Palestinian 
academics and students face.

The final segment of the event will be a moderated discussion featuring 
Issam Alyamani and Jehad Elewiwi, two prominent Palestine solidarity 
activists based in Toronto.
