Al Helm: Martin Luther King in Palestine
5148 Market Street, San Diego, 92114
Cost: Free
The film follows the visit of King scholar Dr. Clayborne Carson and an African-American gospel choir to the Occupied West Bank to collaborate with Palestinian actors on a touring production of Carson's play about MLK. The Americans witness the discrimination and segregation suffered by Palestinians in their own land. As Palestinian activists attempt to board a “settler only” bus, the Americans realize that MLK's dream is also Al Helm (“the dream”) of the Palestinian people.
