FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

At 9:15 tonight, Women in Black will hold a half-hour vigil at the Sunset Laemmle Theatres, 8000 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, Ca.8000 Sunset Blvd.

West Hollywood, 90046

An Israeli film about the military, Close to Home, is being shown as part of the LA Film Festival. We believe that all cultural, social, sports and products from Israel should be boycotted until it withdraws from the occupied territories and gives Palestinians their civil and human rights. Israel is collectively punishing a people whose only aim is freedom from occupation.

For information on the invasion of Gaza, please contact the following people who are facing, firsthand, the might of the 4th largest military in the world.
