Six months ago, I got in touch with Ruwaida Amer. An incredible video journalist from Gaza, continuing to capture stories as she withstands the most incomprehensible conditions. I am pleased to share that in collaboration with @our_race we are hosting an event this Wednesday to screen two of Ruwaida’s films for a thought provoking evening.
