Ep. 7: Conversation with Film Director Darin Sallam on her groundbreaking new film Farha, that depicts the story of the 1948 Palestinian Al Nakba
Description
Today on the show, we welcomed Darin Sallam, film director of the new film Farha, that narrates the story of the 1948 Palestinian Nakba and is inspired by a true story told through the eyes of a 14 year old Palestinian girl, and depicts and articulates the truth about this historical Palestinian catastrophe when more than 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from Palestine and entire villages and towns wiped out, in the creation of the state of Israel.
The film is streaming on Netflix and is the official submission to the 2023 Oscars by Jordan.
While the Israeli government has been up in arms in their attacks and attempts to censor the film, millions have positively rallied around the powerful depiction of the 1948 Palestinan Al Nakba in the film, as Farha beautifully shares a 14 year old girls account of the atrocities committed in the creation of the state of Israel.
Farha is a must watch for any one keen to learn the truth on the Palestinian catastrophe, ie Al Nakba of 1948 as to understand the signifcance of this historic genocide that is still playing out daily in the Occupied Palestinian territories where the Israeli state continues to ethnic cleanse Palestinian cities, towns and villages and entrench its illegal occupation and apartheid practices.
