San Diego Arab Film Festival presents WHO KILLED ALEX ODEH

The San Diego Arab Film Festival presents Who Killed Alex Odeh . In October 1985, Santa Ana, California was shaken by a brazen act of political violence when Palestinian American Alex Odeh, a beloved teacher and community leader, was killed by a tripwire bomb planted in his office. Despite substantial evidence and identified suspects, the case was never solved. Who Killed Alex Odeh? reopens the mystery, tracking a renewed investigation in real time as new leads emerge, long-buried records come to light, and the forces behind a political assassination are finally confronted. Doors open at 5:45 PM. Film starts at 6:00 PM. Starting at 5:15 P.M. a traditional Egyptian dinner of Koshari, a hearty vegetarian dish with Im Ali, a popular Egyptian dessert and a Palestinian dinner of Musakhan (baked chicken with carmelized onions) with Harriseh dessert will be available. Film and dinner tickets are purchased separately and can be bought online in advance online or in person at the door.
