Join CODEPINK LA, Artists Against Apartheid, DSA and Entertainment Labor for Palestine on Monday, March 31st at 1pm at the Academy HQ in Beverly Hills to demand that the Academy speak out against the brutalization of Palestinian Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal. Ballal was attacked by Israeli settlers and arrested by Israeli occupation forces less than a month after winning the Oscar for Best Documentary for No Other Land. The Academy has yet to issue a statement condemning the attack. After winning the Oscar, co-director Basel Adra told the Associated Press: “We came back from the Oscars and every day since there is an attack on us…this might be their revenge on us for making the movie. It feels like a punishment.”
As always, bring signs and wear pink!
