Palestine 36 - EN subs

It is 1936 and Palestine is under British Mandate rule, while growing support for Zionist immigration and land allocations further intensifies existing tensions. Against this backdrop, Palestine 36 follows several Palestinian Arabs whose lives are swept into the Arab revolt against British colonial power and the expansion of Jewish settlements. Annemarie Jacir weaves their stories into an ambitious historical drama about ordinary people who, each in their own way, are forced to take a position in a conflict that will define their future. With a cast including Karim Daoud Anaya, Yasmine Al Massri, Hiam Abbass and Jeremy Irons, the film shows how resistance is born from loss, injustice and the urgent need to survive.
