About the event
The film endeavours to take audiences on an intense, emotional journey into the lives and experiences of those living in occupied and colonised Palestine, and the hardships and difficult choices they have to make under a system of apartheid and genocide.
This gripping drama follows a Palestinian school teacher (Saleh Bakri) who struggles to reconcile his life-threatening commitment to political resistance with his emotional support for one of his students (Muhammad Abed El Rahman).
