TRAILER

TAHA - The play, written by and starring Palestinian artist Amer Hlehel عامر حليحل based on the story of Palestinian poet Taha Muhammad Ali. His poetry tells of the experience of Palestinian refugees; his story parallels the story of the Palestinians who remained in their homeland after 1948. This internationally acclaimed play is not about the tragedy of a poet, but rather about the triumph of his life.

Thank you for joining us in commemorating the 72nd year of al Nakba with two special free virtual screenings on May 15 & 17.

Thank you to our community partners Nakba Commemoration Initiative Ottawa, Beit Zatoun, Independent Jewish Voices Canada and Cinema Politica Network for supporting these events.
