Please join our brothers and sisters from St. Marks Episcopal Church (Seattle) Mideast Focus Ministry group for a film series of 7 films over the next 3 months. The first film:
The film follows Jewish-Israeli human-rights lawyer Lea Tsemel as she navigates through the Israeli judicial system in defense of Palestinian political prisoners. The film includes archival footage of past cases Tsemel was involved in over a five-decade long career; interviews with Tsemel and her family members, including her husband, Michel Warschawski and their daughter and son, as well as interns and associates at Tsemel’s law firm; and closely follows two contemporary cases represented by Tsemel and her co-counsel, Tareq Barghout.
Following the film there will be a discussion with host John McKay, Former U.S. Attorney for Western Washington and special guest Lea Tsemel, the subject of the film!
