Palestine 36 is a spectacular, deeply human film about the beginning of Palestinian emancipation. Directed by Annemarie Jacir, the film features Hiam Abbass in a leading role, alongside Kamel El Basha and Saleh Bakri. While Yusuf, a journalist, takes a stand against increasing censorship and repression, his best friend Khalid becomes increasingly radicalized and joins the growing resistance. Their story unfolds in 1936, a time when clashing ideals escalated into an armed conflict between Palestinian freedom fighters and brutal British officers.
