Farah Nabulsi’s debut feature film delves into the ugly realities Palestinians are subjected to. Life in Palestine seems so simple from afar, yet she redirects her audience’s attention to the complexities in these communities, taking viewers on a rollercoaster of emotions from grief to love, which embody Palestinian resilience in everyday characters like a teacher and his students.
While I am not Palestinian, as a Puerto Rican, I can empathize with the feeling of knowing my family's homeland has fallen victim to Western imperialism. Puerto Rico has not known independence since Columbus landed on our shores in 1493. At one point in history, the American government outlawed the very presence of our flag, the symbol of our pride. Because of this, the resiliency of the Palestinian people has always resonated with me, and I am absolutely positive that the story of Farha will resonate with you too.
Human rights activists regularly demand Israel abide by international law in vain. Noura Erakat’s “Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine” gave me a clear view of what enables the ongoing catastrophe in my family’s homeland and what it might take to revitalize our movement for liberation.
3000 Nights opens on a dark, pouring night where we first see the main character, Layal. The film’s hauntingly beautiful and crisp cinematography shines through its immediate construction of the prison’s cruel atmosphere and the air of hostility between the inmates and the prison guards.
A reviewer posited Hany Abu-Assad’s new film “The Idol” is something like “Slumdog Millionaire,” suggesting that it was a good thing. It is very much like “Slumdog”—but that’s not a good thing.
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) is as a tool for Palestine liberation and is often questioned by skeptics or naysayers who contend with various arguments such as a denial to academic freedom for Israeli academics.
In the summer of 2014, renowned American Studies Professor, Steven Salaita’s employment at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign was terminated.
In his latest collection of poems, Before the Next Bomb Drops Rising up: From Brooklyn to Palestine, spoken word artist and activist, Remi Kanazi speaks powerful truths to solidarity, justice, and resistance.
Thanks to its portrayal of Palestine and Palestinians and its contribution to raising awareness of critical issues, Villa Touma offers a masterful representation of the complexity of Palestinian history. The film weaves together various themes through a story that is definitely atypical but nevertheless powerful and deeply telling.
Baddawi, a graphic novel written and illustrated by Palestinian-American, Leila Abdelrazaq, will transcend generations.
