The only feature film shot in Palestine in the last two years tells the personal stories behind the 1936-1939 Arab revolt against British colonial rule. This sweeping historical epic from award-winning director Annemarie Jacir (Wajib) was Palestine’s official Oscar entry.

Set against the 1936-1939 Arab revolt against British rule in Palestine – the longest anti-colonial uprising in the history of the British Empire – Annemarie Jacir’s award-winning drama brings an oft-forgotten chapter vividly to life. A strong ensemble cast, including Jeremy Irons (Dead Ringers), Hiam Abbass (Succession) and Saleh Bakri (All That’s Left of You), come together in an interweaving story that captures the Palestinian resistance against the increasingly severe and imposing force of the British. Shot in Palestine and Jordan under extremely challenging circumstances, this is a film of potent, complex contemporary resonance.
