1997 - Palestine

This film traces Darwich’s path of exile from the Cisjordanian Desert to Paris, via Cairo and Beirut. It sets out to understand the popular fervour and intense emotion generated by Palestine’s national poet through his own inimitable words and rhythms. It not only allows the audience to appreciate his work in its totality, but also places it in its political, historical and cultural context.
