RACHEL: AN AMERICAN CONSCIENCE is a documentary film about a 23 year
old
American who gave her life defending human rights and freedom two years
ago.
With her death, Rachel Corrie's work and message became a beacon of
hope
in a sadly dark world.

Mr. Yahya Barakat, director of this powerful 90 minute documentary,
goes
beyond the politics of the Occupation to depict the facts on the
ground. He
shows the Palestinian struggle, and shows what motivates concerned
individuals from around the world to come to Palestine to resist
demolition
of Palestinian homes and lives.

The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (www.ipsc.ie) has issued a
call
for Irish supporters who attend this match to use the opportunity to
protest
against Israel's continued refusal to respect Palestinian rights and
International law. To that end they are organizing demonstrations
before
the match begins to be followed by a show of solidarity from inside the
stadium as thousands of Irish protesters take to their seats with
Palestinian flags and other visible signs of support.

The Palestine Solidarity Group invites fans of football and supporters
of
justice in Palestine to kick back with us and enjoy this classic world
