Worldwide screening of the critically-acclaimed film, You Come From Far Away by Amal Ramsis.

The film reveals an extraordinary story of a Palestinian family and how geopolitics interfered in their lives, dispersing them to far corners of the world, and is a testament to the power of family bonds to overcome time and distance.

What is Al Nakba?
Al Nakba, translates from Arabic to "The Catastrophe" and refers to the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their land in 1948 for the creation of the Israeli state.

The trauma and memory of Al Nakba is still live as millions of Palestinians living inside and outside of Palestine/Israel wait to return to their ancestral lands, while thousands more continue to be expelled from their land. The Nakba has had a profound effect on the lives, narratives, identities and culture of generations of Palestinians. Every year on May 15th the Nakba is commemorated around the world
