‘Many residents of Bath will be horrified by Israel breaking the ceasefire in Gaza yesterday and the lack of response from the international community.
On Monday 24th March, I’ve arranged a screening of the thought-provoking documentary “Censoring Palestine” at The Percy Centre. This film sheds light on the censorship and struggles faced by those speaking up about the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
I think the documentary deserves as wide an audience as possible, and I’d like people from diverse backgrounds to be aware of these censorship issues, hence asking you to publicise the attached event on Bath Newseum.’
There will be a special screening of Censoring Palestine on Monday 24th March 2025 at the Percy Community Centre New King Street, Bath, BA1 2BN
It’s a thought-provoking film that sheds light on the censorship and struggles faced by those speaking up about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. With the recent wave of arrests of Palestine activists and protestors, we are seeing a state-sponsored clampdown designed to silence anyone who speaks out or demonstrates in support of Palestine.
🍉About the Film🍉
Screening starts at 7 PM
‘A genocide is happening in Palestine, but the newspapers and TV don’t tell us the truth; even social media is censored. This documentary feature film exposes the most outrageous attack on free speech in modern times.
In the streets, in education, and on stage and screen, speaking out is not allowed. People face dawn raids, arrests and detention. Dissent has been criminalised.’
With Bath-based film director Ken Loach, Alexei Sayle, Jackie Walker, Roger Waters, Sarah Wilkinson, Peter Oborne, Ben Jamal, Lindsey German, and many more.
From the makers of The Big Lies – Oh Jeremy Corbyn and Starmer & the Genocide.
