🗓️ September 13 at 7 PM 📍 Owl’s Head Park (68th St & Bliss Terr)
Join PAL-Awda NY/NJ and cinemĂłvil nyc for a film screening of THE DUPES!
Adapted from the revolutionary martyr, writer and PFLP leader Ghassan Kanafani’s novella Men in the Sun, The Dupes follows three Palestinian refugees—each man representing a different generation—as they seek safe passage from Iraq to Kuwait, where they hope to secure work and money to send to their families back home. Short on options to achieve this goal, they agree to a questionable plan to get smuggled in, and the possibility of building better lives for themselves grows ever more improbable.
Set in Palestine and Iraq, and filmed in Syria by Tewfik Saleh, an Egyptian director, the film was banned in several Arab countries due to its implied criticisms of Arab governments.
Bring your chairs, blankets, and snacks!
