In order to break the illegal siege, in August 2008, the Free Gaza
Movement sent international boats to land in the port of Gaza, the first
in 41 years.
Freedom Sailors tells the story of 44 passengers on two dilapidated boats
that sailed to Gaza and breached Israel's illegal blockade.
Hear co-editor Bill Dienst launch Freedom Sailors in Vancouver, and learn
more about the Canadian Boat to Gaza’s new project, Gaza’s Ark.
Bill was on board the LIBERTY on August 23, 2008 when it sailed into Gaza
Port.


“A riveting account of one of the great moments in the history of
non-violent resistance: breaking the criminal and sadistic siege of
Gaza...”
     – Noam Chomsky, Ph.D. – Professor, MIT

“Freedom Sailors is a powerful record of the political and humanitarian
activity of some of the best humans we are ever likely to meet.
   - Alice Walker, Earthling poet, writer and activist.
