Gaza Strip
Directed by James Longley
Produced in Palestine/US, 2002
Running Time: 74m
Distributor: Arab Film Distribution
Website: www.arabfilm.com
A refreshingly unfettered look at the Israeli-Palestinian situation in the occupied territory, Longley's documentary is a unique experience, a film which gives a voice to a population largely ignored by the mainstream media. Shot almost entirely in a cinema vérité style and presented without narration, the film focuses on ordinary Palestinians rather than politicians and pundits. GAZA STRIP is an extraordinary and painful journey into the lives of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip struggling with the day-to-day trials of the Israeli occupation. In January of 2001, Longley traveled to the occupied territory. His plan was to stay for two weeks to collect preliminary material for a documentary film on the Palestinian Intifada. It was during his stay that Ariel Sharon was elected as Israeli Prime Minister. As violence erupted around him, Longley threw away his return ticket and filmed for the next three months, acquiring nearly 75 hours of footage. GAZA STRIP follows a range of people and events following the election, including the first major armed incursion into "Area A" by IDF forces during this intifada. More observation than political argument, GAZA STRIP offers a rare look inside the stark realities of life under Israeli military occupation.

The Tashunka Witro Brigade Show, “Black August”
Date: 8/25/2001Call Number: PM 243Format: CassetteProgram: Tashunka Witro Brigade ShowCollection: Black August Resistance
Part I
This was a broadcast on KPOO 89.5 FM. The title of the episode was "Black August." The producers examine the definition of political prisoners and prisoners of war. With the definitions, they explore the different political prisoners in our American prison system and the suppression of these revolutionaries' vision and influence in history and society. The focus is primarily on the prison system's agenda against people of color, Hispanics, and Native American people to silence their revolutionary example. The prison Pelican Bay is defined as a tomb to silence revolutionaries and eliminate resistance. Black August, a celebration of resistance and determination in memory of freedom fighters that rebelled against the California prison system, is also acknowledged. Black August also represents self-discipline, change, love, peace, freedom, and life. Black August continues to be a time of severe lockdown to prevent prisoner resistance and revival. The producers analyze the oppression and murders of indigenous people and Latinos, along with the political repression that people of color face. The vision and dismantlement of the Muslim activist and the Islamic movement is addressed as well. The stories of revolutionaries such as Alvarro Nuna Hernandez, Jonathan Jackson, Katari Golden, George Jackson, Romaine Chip Fitzgerald, El Mahn Jahmeel, and El Hajj Malik Shabazz are told in relation to their roles as political prisoners. The political prisoners are honored as a fighting spirit within the prison system.
