Director Samir Abdallah intercuts this harrowing, often never-aired footage with interviews with the cameramen about their traumatic experiences�how they struggled with releasing these images because of their graphic nature, and how they continue to cope with their haunting, horrifying memories.

Tuesday, October 5 Harvard University :: 8:00pm Harvard University Law School, Landgell North - Rm 225 Free and open to the public GAZA WE ARE COMING by Yorgos Avgeropoulos and Yiannis Karipidis Documentary, 2009, 49 min., Greece North American Premiere In August 2008, two small Greek fishing boats with 44 people from 17 countries on board set off from Larnaka, Cyprus towards their final destination, Gaza. Gaza We Are Coming records their historic and risky journey intended to break the naval siege, illegally laid by the state of Israel on Gaza. This film chronicles the journey�the forerunner of that attempted in 2010 by the less-fortunate Freedom Flotilla�Israel�s reactions, the obstacles that were overcome, and the moving heroes� welcome the boat received from thousands of Gazans when it actually docked on Saturday, August 23rd 2;008. It also explores the motives of those involved, including the ordinary Greeks who volunteered to participate in this dangerous but successful operation. It also recounts how the boats were built secretly in Greek shipyards, the logistics involved, the attempts to thwart the mission and why it was laden with such historical importance and pressure to succeed at breaking the 41-year-old marine blockade that Israel unilaterally imposed on Gaza, in contravention of international law. >> Winner, Best Film, 12th International Documentary Festival of Thessaloniki, Greece ISRAELI ATTACK ON THE MAVI MARMARA by Iara Lee Documentary Short, 2010, 15 min., USA In the pre-dawn hours of Monday, May 31, 2010, Israeli naval forces surrounded and boarded ships sailing to bring humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip in international waters. On the largest ship, the Mavi Marmara, Israeli commandos opened fire on civilian passengers, killing at least nine passengers and wounding dozens more. Cultures of Resistance director Iara Lee was aboard the besieged ship, detained in the port of Ashdod, and deported to Istanbul before returning home. Despite the Israeli government�s thorough efforts to confiscate all footage taken during the attack, Iara Lee and Director of Photography Srdjan Stojiljkovic were able to retain some raw video footage. This film is a 15-minute excerpt. Discussion follows. Speaker: Col. Ann Wright, US Army (ret), eyewitness on the Mavi Marmara during the attack and Gaza Freedom March participant.
