Miami Beach mayor to shut down O Cinema over Palestine documentary

Miami Beach mayor Steven Meiner announced in a newsletter last night that he has introduced legislation to shutter the independent movie theater O Cinema on Washington Ave. This is after he pressured the theater to pull “No Other Land”, a documentary about West Bank settlements made by two Palestinians and two Israeli Jews.

As I’m sure many of you know, O Cinema is an authentic, independent cultural treasure in a city severely lacking them. Whether you’re a Miami Beach resident or not, I urge you to make your voices heard against repression of free speech, authoritarianism, and bullying.

Steven Meiner can be emailed directly at stevenmeiner@miamibeachfl.gov.

Thanks everyone.
