    It's on Netflix now? Excellent. I was reading about the film and its director last week and hoping there'd be some way I could watch it soon

      It's very moving and effective and the performances are excellent- highly recommended

      I guess this is as good a place as any to add this.

        Can also recommend this 1948 movie which interviews Palestinians, Israeli soldiers and historians about the founding of the state of Israel and the exodus of the Palestinians (making it plain that many were driven out, or felt they had no choice but to flee.)

        I was shocked to discover that it's been banned in some US festivals for daring to challenge the "people without land land without a people" trope.

          Watched The Present this evening. It's really good. Shows the simple yet constant humiliation that Palestinians are subjected to. Just a simple story of going shopping in an apartheid system.

          Highly recommended

            Thanks for the heads up. It's really quite good and Bakri is excellent.
