Set against the 1936-1939 Arab revolt against British rule in Palestine – the longest anti-colonial uprising in the history of the British Empire – Annemarie Jacir’s award-winning drama brings an oft-forgotten chapter vividly to life. A strong ensemble, including Jeremy Irons, Hiam Abbass (Succession) and Saleh Bakri (All That’s Left of You), stage this complex story on a grand scale, capturing the Palestinian resistance against the increasingly severe and imposing force of the British.

Shot in Palestine and Jordan under extremely challenging circumstances, this is a film of potent contemporary resonance. This is the only feature film shot in Palestine in the last two years, and Palestine’s official submission for the98th Academy Awards
