M2: Futbol Palestina 2006 Film Project Party

Futbol Palestina 2006 is having a welcome back party for its film crew, which is returning from the Middle East. Come see footage, hear from the crew, listen to music, and contribute to the project. May 2, 6pm @ Hot House, 31 E. Balbo. $6 recommended donation.
Fútbol Palestina 2006, a film under production, documents a soccer team and the unique challenges of representing its country, Palestine. The team's purpose? A spot in the most important event on the planet, soccer's World Cup. The chances? Slim, but not impossible.

Palestinians compete as the ultimate underdogs: stateless, poor, under occupation and even playing home games in Qatar, far from their fans. Our film will allow a global audience a second look at Palestine through the lens of soccer; it will provide an opportunity to 'mainstream' Palestine's case as endorsed by the United Nations by telling the story in a language millions understand.

Our crew has been in Palestine, Egypt and Chile as the team prepares for qualifiers against Uzbekistan, Taiwan and Iraq. The winner goes on to decide Asia's teams among the Cup's final 32. With Palestine leading its group so far, reaching Berlin in 2006 is no longer impossible.

Join us Sunday, May 2nd at 6pm at the HotHouse, 31 E. Balbo in Chicago - we are making up for the months away with a party to share some of the material we are bringing back. Come see footage, hear from the crew, and make your contribution to Futbol Palestina 2006. The recommended donation is $6, but feel free to surprise us.

Please write, call and tell your friends. Your support helps make this project possible.
