Free screening of Where Olive Trees Weep to take place Sunday in San Antonio

San Antonio’s First Unitarian Universalist Church is providing a vital community service this Sunday by screening excerpts from the powerful documentary Where Olive Trees Weep, which chronicles stories of Palestinian lives under the Israeli occupation.

In conjunction with the documentary there will be a discussion with Judith Norman — a distinguished professor and chairwoman of the Department of Philosophy at Trinity University.

Norman has worked with Jewish Voices for Peace and San Antonio for Justice in Palestine and promises to be a clear and urgent voice about the most pressing moral issue of our time.

Free, 12:15-2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 7150 I-10, (210) 344-4695.
