Laura Gordon and Cheryl Broderson on the death of Rachel Corrie

The Killing Zone is a 45-minute British documentary about conditions in Rafah and the murders of International Solidarity Movement workers Rachel Corrie and Tom Hurndall and British TV journalist James Miller. The film was made soon after Corrie's death and during the shootings of Hurndall and Miller.

The following two Fridays, May 14 and May 21, WYOU also plans to air the tape of our April program on the anniversary of Rachel Corrie's death, which featured talks by Laura Gordon, an International Solidarity Movement volunteer who recently returned from Rafah, and Cheryl Broderson, Rachel's aunt from Iowa. Laura went to Israel with the "Birthright Israel" program, but wound up spending nearly a year in Rafah with the ISM trying to protect Palestinian civilians.

Further coverage of Rafah and Palestine may air the following Friday, June 1, before the City Council meeting.
