'My Name is Rachel Corrie' is a play based on the diaries and emails of Rachel Corrie, edited by Katharine Viner and Alan Rickman, who directed it. Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 � March 16, 2003) was an American Evergreen State College student and member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who traveled to the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada. She was killed by a Caterpillar D9R armored bulldozer operated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during a protest against the destruction of Palestinian homes by the IDF in the Gaza Strip. The details of the events surrounding Corrie's death as she stood between an Israeli bulldozer and a Palestinian home are disputed. While an Israeli military investigation ruled the death at its own hands to be "an accident," eyewitnesses maintain that Corrie was run over deliberately.
