North American Premiere

Evolving from a history of uprisings (or Intifadas), the popular resistance in Palestine is a comprehensive and wide expression of the aspirations for freedom and dignity attempted by the Palestinian people. Speaking with Palestinian activists and intellectuals on the ground, the film shares concepts and ideas behind the culture and politics of the popular resistance. The film explores issues of human rights, women’s rights and resistance strategies as it follows villagers’ struggles against housing demolitions, Israeli settlements and building of the wall.

Screened with The Kingdom of Women: Ein El Helweh & On the Heel Side
