Palestine Cinema Days 2024: 'Naila and the Uprising' (2017)

Join us for a screening of Naila and the Uprising (2017) directed by Julia Bacha. This event is part of AFLAMUNA'S 2024 Palestine Cinema Days around the World.

Naila and the Uprising (2017) chronicles the remarkable journey of Naila Ayesh whose story weaves through the most vibrant, nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history -- the First Intifada in the late 1980s. When a nation-wide uprising breaks out in 1987, a woman in Gaza must make a choice between love, family, and freedom. Undaunted, she embraces all three, joining a clandestine network of women in a movement that forces the world to recognize the Palestinian right to self-determination for the first time.

SCHEDULE

This film will be screened in our gallery at 12.30pm, 2pm and 3.30pm

Run time: 76 minutes
