[Peace] This Thursday - Film Night: "Omar"

[SJP UIUC]

Hello everyone,

Before finals preparation really kicks in, join the Students for Justice in
Palestine for a movie night this *Thursday*, *May 1* at *7:00 pm* in *Noyes
Lab Room 161*. We will showcase *"Omar,"* the 2014 Oscar-nominated
Palestinian thriller.

Synopsis:

Omar is accustomed to dodging surveillance bullets to cross the separation
wall to visit his secret love Nadia. But occupied Palestine knows neither
simple love nor clear-cut war.

On the other side of the wall, the sensitive young baker Omar becomes a
freedom fighter who must face painful choices about life and manhood. When
Omar is captured after a deadly act of resistance, he falls into a
cat-and-mouse game with the military police. Suspicion and betrayal
jeopardize his longtime trust with accomplices and childhood friends Amjad
and Tarek, Nadia’s militant brother. Omar’s feelings quickly become as torn
apart as the Palestinian landscape. But it’s soon evident that everything
he does is for his love of Nadia.
