1936. As villages across Mandatory Palestine rise against British colonial rule, Yusuf drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest. But history is relentless. With rising numbers of Jewish immigrants escaping antisemitism in Europe, and the Palestinian population uniting in the largest and longest uprising against Britain’s 30-year dominion, all sides spiral towards inevitable collision in a decisive moment for the British Empire and the future of the entire region. Contains infrequent strong language, moderate violence, threat, upsetting scenes.
After the film there will be a post-film discussion facilitated by Dumfries Palestine Solidarity Campaign featuring Robin Yassin-Kassab, an author and journalist on the Middle East.
