SUMMARY:Movie screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising\, a Just Vision documentary\, with the Deputy Director and a Producer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nJoin Museum of the Palestinian People for a special film screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising with Just Vision’s Deputy Director\, Emma Alpert and one of the film’s producers\, Rula Salameh. \nNaila and the Uprising is a documentary film about a nation-wide uprising that breaks out in the Occupied Palestinian Territories\, and the story of a young woman in Gaza who must make a choice between love\, family\, and freedom.

You can watch the trailer\, here. \nThe film will be available for registrants to view at their own convenience prior to our discussion with Emma and Rula on Zoom on Friday\, August 28 at 12pm EDT.
