The films will be shown Wednesday, April 25, starting at 7 p.m. at the Lakes & Plains Regional Council of Carpenters, 700 Olive St., St. Paul. The program is free and open to all.
Meeting Face to Face: the Iraq-U.S. Labor Solidarity Tour (Jonathan Levin, 27 minutes) follows six senior Iraqi labor leaders through 25 U.S. cities during the June 2005 Iraq-U.S. Labor Solidarity Tour, sponsored by U.S. Labor Against the War. Speaking to U.S. audiences for the first time, Iraqis explain why the primary condition for a peaceful resolution in Iraq is ending the U.S. occupation and why an independent labor movement is crucial in creating a democratic society.
The documentary captures the energy and emotions of the tour while adding vital perspectives and experiences we almost never hear - those of the Iraqis themselves. Through the film we also see American working people bringing new energy and commitment to the movement for peace and social justice. Includes footage from the tours\' Twin Cities stop at the Carpenters Hall.
Tara Widner, an organizer with the Iraqi trade unionist solidarity tour, will be on hand for the post-film discussion.
Breaking Walls (Yonatan Ben Efrat, 47 minutes) is an optimistic film about art and labor activism that tracks three people whose roads entwine near a wall in the village of K\'ara in Israel. One is labor muralist Mike Alewitz, the second is Danny Ben-Simhon, who abandoned a promising artistic career to work with WAC-MA\'AN (Workers Advice Center); and the third is Musav Salameh, a building worker, who is kept apart from his parents in the West Bank by Israel\'s separation wall. Salameh came to the wall-painting as an observer on the sideline, but quickly took brush in hand.
Although the film starts with Salameh\'s doubts about painting the wall, it ends in a moving scene in the Beit Berl art college. Salameh, together with Ben Simhon, other building laborers and art students set up an impressive exhibition, at the center of which are paintings done on walls that they built themselves in the college\'s gallery.
