PALESTINE UNDER SIEGE SCREENINGS

New Film

Palestine Under Siege takes you into the heart of the struggle for Palestinian self-determination. Survivors of Al Nakba along with Palestinian and Jewish activists, share their experiences and insights of living under Israeli apartheid.

Three Australians, Dr Peter Slezak, Rand Darwish and Lee Rhiannon, travelled to Palestine to conduct interviews and investigate Israel’s accelerating colonisation of Palestinian land.

This documentary was filmed and edited by Australian filmmakers, John Reynolds and Jill Hickson. 

Dare to Struggle Film projects partnered with Wattan TV; a secular Palestinian television service operating in the West Bank and the Hebron Human Rights Defenders to produce this film. The project was also supported by “Defence for Children International – Palestine”.

“What a journey. You met a lot of people. You saw things on the ground. Very powerful. Your film ends with the tragic scenes of Genocide in Gaza and people’s reaction to it world wide. It is sad but appropriate fitting end to your journey of discovery. The 20,000 killed of whom 70% were women and children are a lasting record of the Zionist barbarity which will overshadow history of the Jews for ever.” Salman Abu Sitta, American University Beirut

“I can say that you succeeded in presenting the true account of the suffering of a people who lived oppressed under the British Mandate, and lived through the Nakba, including the crime of ethnic cleansing, killing, destruction and displacement, the colonial military occupation of the West Bank, and these days the crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip”.

Khaled Quzmar, Defense for Children International – Palestine

***********************************

Help stop the Israeli genocide in Gaza. World powers will only speak up for Palestine when our public voice is so loud and strong it cannot be ignored. The documentary, “Palestine Under Siege”, is a great tool to help build this campaign. It informs and inspires us to take action.

David Shoebridge, Green MP Senator, Spokesperson for Defence
