| Israeli Movie Night - Two States of Mind
|  As the Palestinians and Israelis battle their endless battles, we bring you a Palestinian Israeli 50 minute documentary with a difference. It's the story of two spirited women competing in a jeep rally in Morocco as `The Peace Team' across the Moroccan Sahara desert.
The two women are in real life, an Israeli and a Palestinian -- Naomi lives in Tel Aviv and Achsan lives in Ramallah. With no experience, but plenty of enthusiasm they agree, imagining a Club-Med type vacation. What a surprise. A roller coaster of despair, humor, courage, and politics awaits them. Two women, two cultures, two personalities, cooped up in one jeep for 12 scorching days and frozen nights in the unforgiving Sahara Desert. They must cooperate if they are to survive this `vacation'.
Come to Israeli Movie night to see this movie and eat free pizza!!!!!
Bring your friends!!!
