Documenting Displacement: Four Palestinian Films
Zionism strives for a full erasure of Palestine, including the eradication of Palestinian art. As global institutions continue to silence the genocide of Palestinians (e.g. last October, Netflix discontinued most of its Palestinian film catalog), it becomes increasingly urgent to spotlight works that frankly document the occupation of Palestine. Consequently, Cinema Politica has assembled a collection of films on Palestine: documentary and narrative works alike, each representing the indomitable spirit of Palestinian resistance against both ethnic cleansing and the violating channels of refugee migration. These films will be available for free on our VOD platform over the next week.
