A short programme of films in the walled garden, from Saturday midday till 4 and Sunday 11.30 till 1.30<\/strong>. See our programme<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many films about Palestinians as refugees, so central has this issue been to the Palestinian experience since 1948 – and some would argue since 1917, when the British mandate started. This selection is inevitably biased: based on what we have easy access to, the available time to review their relevance and a suitable programme length for small park BIG RUN. But we hope it gives the essence and breadth of that experience as well as its contemporary relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The films we are showing have all been made by Badil (badil.org), a refugee rights organisation in the West Bank. Badil make many films <\/a>and we recommend you review them all! These particular films have been made over a period of time to convey information about the plight of Palestinians as refugees, the theme for small park BIG RUN in 2022.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We start with Nakba in numbers<\/em> which is a fast paced run through of the numbers of people who were expelled or have been forcibly displaced during the Nakba. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you will see in the next films, expulsion is an ongoing process and pressures brought to bare on Palestinians by Israel are designed to force them to leave. But their resistance is both courageous and long lived as shown in We Will Never Leave <\/em><\/strong>and Here We Will Remain<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those that live outside of Palestine and Israel, in refugee camps in the Lebanon, life is harsh and the craving to leave to find a better life is the focus of the next two short films: No place to be <\/em><\/strong>and Stranded in Lebanon<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shatila refugee camp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last but one, we have a longer film (16 minutes), The Sun is Due to Rise.<\/em><\/strong> This film takes us through both the initial creation of refugees between 1947 and 1949 and subsequent policies enacted by Israel to force Palestinian people from their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Handala<\/a>, the iconic character created by Naji al-Ali<\/a>, demanding the right of return<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We finish with a determined cry for the right to return in Why we should ret<\/em>urn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope these films are informative and inspire you to continue your support for Palestinian people to fight for justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
