Palestine 36 ()
Directed by Annemarie Jacir
Overview
The picture explores the lead-up to and events of the Palestinian Arab Revolt from 1936 to 1939. As villages rise-up against British rule, protagonist Yusuf drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest.
