19:00 Movie: Naila and the Uprising – Arabic with English subtitles.
For our second Political Movie Night December session we will show Naila and the Uprising, a documentary that traces the life of Naila Ayesh, her comrades, her family, and her political involvement during the first Palestinian Intifada of 1988.
By focusing on Naila’s political growth, orbiting from student organizer to founding member of different Palestinian women’s committees as well as cadre of the Democratic Front, director Julia Bacha sheds light not only on the mass uprisings of the late 1980s and early 1990s, but also and most importantly, on an often forgotten fact: the cornucopia of manifold and women-led organisations, groups, and grassroots institutions that effectively built a popular counter-power during the first Palestinian Intifada. Simultaneously, the documentary also colours the kaleidoscope of daily life under occupation: education, love, home, freedom of movement. None remained unscathed.
