TSS4P SA FILM FUNDRAISER FOR THE AIDA YOUTH CENTRE - THE PALESTINE EXCEPTION
Advertisement
In response to the genocide occurring in Gaza, Teachers and School Staff for Palestine South Australia is organising a screening of The Palestine Exception documentary and a mutual aid market to raise funds for the Aida Youth Centre at the Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, Palestine. The proceeds from the screening will go directly towards the centre's educational and psychosocial support programs, including arts classes, sports training and academic assistance. The proceeds from our inaugural film fundraiser + mutual aid also raised funds for the Aida Youth Centre, and we are committed to support their work in the long-term. All the way until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.
The Palestine Exception (2025) is a documentary film directed by Jan Haaken and Jennifer Ruth that chronicles the widespread 2023–2024 U.S. university campus protests against Israel's ongoing occupation and genocide of the Palestinian people, and the systematic suppression of pro-Palestinian voices within higher education. The film features professors and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from administrators, the media, the police and politicians. Scholars from diverse disciplines explain what is at stake in these protests and why so many young people identify with the Palestinian cause.
The documentary unfolds as a story of college campuses as sites of both rebellion and repression, places where personal and collective histories converge in unexpected ways.
Our Mutual Aid Market and Raffle
Before and after the screening, browse our Mutual Aid Market stalls and Silent Auction. We will also hold a raffle on the night, with a variety of prizes including artworks, art packs, book bundles, and other special items.
In addition to the Aida Youth Centre, a portion of the proceeds from both the market and raffle will also go towards Aboriginal-led mutual aid call-outs and/or community initiatives here on Kaurna Yerta as a way to pay the rent. Pay the rent is a practice that acknowledges we live, work and organise on stolen Aboriginal land, and that ongoing colonisation continues to cause dispossession and inequality here in so called Australia. Contributing to Aboriginal-led mutual aid call-outs and community initiatives not only recognises our local responsibility but it is also a way to recognise the connections between struggles here and in Palestine.
