1979 - Palestine
North American Premiere
The late Hani Jawhariah (1939 – 1976) was one of the three founders of Fateh’s Palestinian Film Unit created in 1968. Jawhariah was martyred while filming the battle of Ain Toura in the mountains of Lebanon. Born in Jerusalem, much of Jawhariah’s photography and filming showed his great love for the city. He also filmed the Palestinian exodus after the 1967 war, and produced the first dramatic images of the Fidae'en (freedom fighters) to be known to the world. Director Mustafa Abu Ali made this film as a tribute to his friend and colleague and shows much of Jawhariah’s work as a cameraman, including the last 5 shots he filmed before his death.
