Saturday 7th May 19:00 @A4 Space, Alserkal Avenue, Dubai
Dir. Leila Sansour / 2014 / 90 min
Presented in partnership with Cinema Akil
The screening will be followed a Q&A session with the Director, Leila Sansour
Leila takes us on a tour of her hometown, Bethlehem, and through her film, focuses our attention on a human rights issue that, without sounding dramatic, is a cause for us all, irrespective of religion and nationality.
For some, the political situation in Palestine seems either intractably complicated or hopeless, however Leila’s way of telling Bethlehem’s story, makes the story of Palestine legible and deeply personal and the determination and courage it has taken for her to tell it, is an inspiration for us all.
