Join Tadamon! & No One is Illegal for an evening of films, exploring issues of 
social struggle & resistance from the street & detention centers of Canada to 
the prison cells & armed resistance of Lebanon....

Including the Screening of:

----> Souha Surviving Hell:

A cinematic journey into Khiam Prison with the charismatic Souha Bishara. In 
1989 at the age of twenty-one, Souha - a devoted communist - agreed to attempt 
the assassination of Lebanese General Antoine Lahad, who was collaborating with 
the Israeli Army in the South of Lebanon.... Lahad survived, but Souha was 
quickly arrested and thrown in the Khiam prison where she spent ten years for 
the attempt on Lahad's life. Conditions in Khiam were horrific, and Souha 
endured six of those years in solitary confinement.

----> Borderless:

A documentary film produced by KAIROS Canada, directed by Gemini nominated 
filmmaker Min Sook Lee, written by poet Dionne Brand and narrated by dub poet 
d'bi young. As undocumented workers & their allies are mobilizing to protest 
recent deportations, this striking film revels the stories of people living in 
this precarious situation....

Borderless is a twenty-five minute documentary poem about migrants living and 
working without status in Canada. Told in their own voices, the stories of 
Geraldo, an undocumented Costa Rican construction worker, and Angela, a 
second-generation Caribbean domestic worker, bring to life problems of labour 
exploitation and family separation caused by restrictive immigration policy. 
Viewers are introduced to an invisible workforce and invited to reflect on the 
hidden costs of sustaining our first world economy.
