SUMMARY:"It's All About Palestine" Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:WASHINGTON D.C.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nFilm Screening and Panel Discussi
 on: "It Is All About Palestine: A Documentary" by Dina AbouZeid\n\nPaneli
 sts:\n\nSereen Haddad is a Palestinian American and recent graduate of Vi
 rginia Commonwealth University who represents a new generation of principl
 ed voices rising against genocide\, occupation\, and the politics of fear.
  As an organizer with Students for Justice in Palestine at VCU\, she has c
 hallenged institutional repression and spoken out boldly in the face of ce
 nsorship and administrative retaliation. Despite VCU’s claims to celebra
 te diversity and critical thinking\, Sereen has been penalized for using h
 er voice to call out genocide and empire—refusing to trade her conscienc
 e for comfort or a diploma. Her activism is not just political—it is dee
 ply personal. In the past year and a half alone\, she has lost over 200 fa
 mily members in Gaza to the ongoing assault on the Palestinian people. She
  is the daughter of Dr. Tariq Haddad\, a respected Palestinian American ph
 ysician who made national headlines in 2023 by refusing to meet with U.S. 
 Secretary of State Antony Blinken in protest of American support for Israe
 l’s war on Gaza. Sereen’s voice\, like her father’s\, carries clarit
 y\, defiance\, and a refusal to be silent in the face of injustice.\n\nBar
 bara Wien has worked since 1981 to end human rights abuses\, violence\, w
 ar\, and ecological destruction. As Co-Director of Peace Brigades Internat
 ional\, she protected civilians from death squads in conflict zones. Later
 \, as Academic Director of the World Policy Institute\, she helped establi
 sh over 280 peace and conflict resolution programs at universities around 
 the world. A public scholar and practitioner\, Barbara has deep expertise 
 in gender violence\, peacebuilding\, nonviolent social movements\, and the
  political economy of war. She has led eight nonprofits\, taught at six un
 iversities\, and authored or edited 27 publications. Recognized for her 
 “moral courage\,” she has received awards including the 2022 Visionary
  Leadership Award and the 2018 Peace Educator of the Year. Her commentary 
 and interviews have appeared on NPR\, BBC\, NBC\, The Washington Post\, an
 d networks in over 10 countries. Her commitment to peace and justice conti
 nues to shape the next generation of changemakers.\n\nDina AbouZeid is a 
 documentary filmmaker whose journey into the field began after a decade in
  television and news media. Seeking to go beyond headlines and into the he
 art of human experience\, she founded Media Vision Co. in Egypt with a mis
 sion to capture memories\, uncover untold stories\, and offer a clearer vi
 sion of the present. With over 25 years of experience\, Dina has produced 
 impactful content for major broadcasters including Al Jazeera\, Al Hurra\,
  Alghad\, and Al Araby. Her documentaries\, which often explore themes of 
 identity\, social justice\, and global awareness\, combine investigative d
 epth with emotional resonance. Now based in the United States\, Dina conti
 nues to amplify marginalized voices through film. Her latest work\, It Is
  All About Palestine\, documents the courage of student activists confront
 ing repression and the moral clarity of a generation refusing silence. She
  believes that honest\, compassionate storytelling can make film a tool of
  resistance and a beacon of truth and transformation.
