Can I remind people that there will be a showing of Five Broken Cameras in
the Hippodrome Cinema in Bo'ness tomorrow (Thursday) at 7.30 p.m. (doors
open 7 p.m.) Michael Connarty, who has visited Palestine several times, and
Maureen Jack, a peace worker who returns there every year, will be taking
part in a question and answer session at the end. It has been set up by
Falkirk Trades Union Council, Falkirk's Antonine Friendship Link and
Falkirk Community Trust.
