2. WitchHunt: The Attempt to Smash the Most Hopeful Movement of Our Lifetime
In 2015, while the far right was gaining ground around the world, socialist MP Jeremy Corbyn was elected as leader of the UK Labour Party in a landslide victory. Accusations of antisemitism within the party immediately began to circulate. Well-known anti-racists and left-wing Jews, such as Jackie Walker, were amongst the chief targets.
Witch Hunt sets out to investigate the stories and the people behind the headlines, examining the nature of the accusations. Is this a witch hunt, as some claim? If so, who is behind it, and what is the political purpose of such a campaign? Has the media failed in its duty to fairness and accuracy in reporting on such serious allegations? Through a series of interviews, analysis and witness testimony, Witch Hunt explores the connections between the attacks on Labour, the ongoing tragedy of Palestine and the wider struggle against race-based oppression. It argues that if it is to mean anything at all, the fight against racism must be a shared one that includes all peoples.
Witch Hunt will be shown on:
Tuesday, May 14th, at 7:00 p.m.
New Vision United Church, 24 Main Street West, Hamilton L8P 1H2
This wheelchair accessible church is located across from Hamilton City Hall, which offers ample paid parking, and adjacent to the MacNab Street Transit Terminal.
Donation, if you can, at the door. The Nook Cafe will sponsor refreshments! More info: info (at) jelithin.ca
