Cancellation of a film screening by a Paris high school following pressure from social media
Students at a public high school in Paris were scheduled to attend the screening of the documentary For the Honor of Gaza, directed by Iyad Alasttal and focusing on the daily lives of residents in the Gaza Strip.
The school trip was ultimately canceled by school officials following anonymous posts on social media accusing the director of supporting Hamas.
