Naila and the Uprising is a Palestinian film which documents women in Gaza attempting to draw attention to the ongoing suffering of Palestinians. The film is increasingly relevant, despite being released 8 years ago. The screening aims to make the severity of what is happening in Palestine evident in the UK, and encourage people to aid in any way they can.
The screening takes place on March 21st, which is Arab Mother’s Day. To present the film on a day which is supposed to celebrate family was important – it may be a bittersweet day for those in Palestine, who may have lost their family. We felt it important to recognise this and reflect upon those suffering as a result of the Israeli government.
