Occupation 101

A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict — ‘Occupation 101′ presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions.

The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American media outlets.

The film covers a wide range of topics — which include — the first wave of Jewish immigration from Europe in the 1880’s, the 1920 tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967 war, the first Intifada of 1987, the Oslo Peace Process, Settlement expansion, the role of the United States Government, the second Intifada of 2000, the separation barrier and the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as many heart wrenching testimonials from victims of this tragedy.

Occupation 101 features a leading list of some of the most credible Middle East scholars, historians, peace activists, journalists, and humanitarian workers.

Occupation 101 has been released, and can now be now purchased on DVD.

Poesia matemática, Millôr Fernandes

Poesia matemática, Millôr Fernandes:
“Às folhas tantas
do livro matemático
um Quociente apaixonou-se
um dia
doidamente
por uma Incógnita.
Olhou-a com seu olhar inumerável
e viu-a do ápice à base
uma figura ímpar;
olhos rombóides, boca trapezóide,
corpo retangular, seios esferóides.
Fez de sua uma vida
paralela à dela
até que se encontraram
no infinito.
‘Quem és tu?’, indagou ele
em ânsia radical.
‘Sou a soma do quadrado dos catetos.
Mas pode me chamar de Hipotenusa.’
E de falarem descobriram que eram
(o que em aritmética corresponde
a almas irmãs )
primos entre si.
E assim se amaram
ao quadrado da velocidade da luz
numa sexta potenciação
traçando
ao sabor do momento
e da paixão
retas, curvas, círculos e linhas sinoidais
nos jardins da quarta dimensão.
