Rachel’s Words

The Words of Rachel Corrie
Directed by Deborah Peabody

Rachel Corrie was a 23-year-old American peace activist from Olympia, Washington, who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer on 16 March 2003, while undertaking nonviolent direct action to protect the home of a Palestinian doctor, his wife, and three children from demolition. The International Solidarity Movement, with whom corrie volunteered, claimed that she was run over on purpose, but The Israeli Defense Forces has said it was an accident and that she was killed by falling debris.
