SUMMARY:Tues 6th Dec - "Open Bethlehem" Film Show
DESCRIPTION:The film ‘Open Bethlehem.’ It is described as a big film about a small town\, and by Jon Snow of Channel 4 News as ‘one of the most remarkable and moving documentaries I have seen.’ \nThe film lasts for 90 minutes and hopefully there will be time for some discussion afterwards. \nPlease help to advertise this ‘must see’ film as widely as possible. \nPlease note this film will replace Chester Friends of Palestine’s usual monthly meetings for November and December. They are still looking for volunteers to help with an action day against Hewlett Packard on 26th November in Chester. Also  for anyone who would be happy to sing alternative Christmas Carols and give out leaflets about the present situation in Bethlehem\, nearer to Christmas. Thank you to those who have already replied but more volunteers are needed.
