Details: Jul 11, 2021 03:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada) - Voices from the Holy Land, in conjunction with the American Friends Service Committee, invites you to our fifteenth monthly Online Film Salon. Participants will discuss the award winning documentary “Gaza Fights For Freedom”.

Produced through a collaboration of Gaza journalists because Israel would not let the film director in, the film shows Gaza's protest movement as never seen before. Filmed during the height of the Great March of Return protests, it features riveting exclusive footage of demonstrations. The documentary tells the story of Gaza past and present, showing rare archival footage that explains the history never acknowledged by mass media. Heard on the film are the victims of the ongoing conflict, including journalists, medics and the family of internationally-acclaimed paramedic, Razan al-Najjar. At its core, 'Gaza Fights For Freedom' is a thorough indictment of the Israeli military for war crimes, and a stunning cinematic portrayal of Palestinian resistance.
