Paradise, in this case, is a Mediterranean fishing village in Israel,
one of the few Palestinian villages left intact after the 1948 war.
The director goes back to investigate the secrets of her village,
its past history and the role of its women. Her quest leads her
to Mrs Suaad George, a mythical bad girl from the village who was
imprisoned for involvement with the PLO, who eventually left the
country to become a Doctor of Law in the UK and now lives in Exeter
where she is Vice Chair of Exeter Respect Steering Group!
Introduced by Suaad George, followed by discussion.

A spiritually uplifting documentary about the children of the Agape
Orphanage in KwaZulu-Natal. Tragedy has become a banal fact of life
but despite the shadow of sickness, the house is full of song and

to London, but they encounter setbacks along the way.
Profit from ticket sales will go to the Agape Orphanage.
I Know I'm Not Alone (15) 9.30pm,

Musician Franti from Spearhead decided to walk his talk of antimilitarism,
anti-death penalty and anti-war by visiting the war zones of Iraq,
Palestine and Israel, playing his guitar and just talking to everyone
he meets about the human cost of war.
