* About Invincible:
It is truly rare to find an artist like Invincible. Talib Kweli has called her one of the 
most talented emcees he?s ever heard. Her spitfire wordplay has gotten her acclaim from 
fans all across the world, while her active involvement in community organizing through 
Detroit Summer?s Live Arts Media Project and US Palestine Youth Solidarity Network has 
taken her music beyond entertainment. Invincible?s latest evolution, and long awaited solo 
debut ?Shapeshifters? is even more rebelliously appealing.

* About the films:
People Not Places is a journey through a ?birthright? tour of Israel where the buried 
Palestinian significance of each location comes to light. Intertwined between verses are 
interviews from various perspectives exposing the myth of a ?Jewish birthright? to a land 
Palestinians are denied the Right of Return to. These insightful voices also show the 
importance of Right of Return, how it can be actualized, and how it connects to the 
resistance of occupied and displaced communities from Turtle Island to Puerto Rico and 
beyond. Directed by Iqaa The Olivetone. Produced by EMERGENCE Media and PEP

Locusts presents groundbreaking music, lyrics, and interviews with youth and community 
activists about profit-driven urban development schemes that displace inner-city 
neighbourhoods. Directed by Iqaa the Olivetone. Produced by EMERGENCE Media
