Gaza film to be screened in Tullamore as fundraiser for Palestinian Red Cross
A documentary film called Gaza will be shown in Tullamore next week as a fundraiser for the Palestinian Red Cross.
The screening is taking place at the Esker Arts Centre on Tuesday, January 23, at 8pm.
It's part of the Esker Arts Film Club, and admission is €7 with proceeds going to the Palestinian charity.
Released in 2019, Gaza was directed by Andrew McConnell and Garry Keane.
A synopsis of the 92-minute film states: "It's hard to imagine anybody living a normal life in the Gaza Strip.
"Frequently labelled as the world’s largest open-air prison, this is a beautiful portrait of every day Gazan citizens, leading meaningful lives beyond the rubble of perennial conflict.
"Gaza depicts a people plagued by conflict but not defined by it, painting a tender portrait of a beleaguered humanity."
Tickets for the screening can be booked on the Esker Arts Centre website and you can view a trailer for the film here:
