Palestine 36

12 rating

Acclaimed Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir’s most ambitious work is a powerful exploration of the events leading up to the Arab Revolt of 1936.

Palestine has been under British mandatory control since the 1920s, but tensions are flaring over the future of the territory. Chronicling the lives of local farmers, revolutionaries and business owners, Jacir’s drama is a gripping account of a critical moment in Palestinian history, conveyed by a stellar ensemble cast that includes Hiam Abbass, Jeremy Irons and Saleh Bakri.

Palestine 36 was made with the support of the BFI, awarding National Lottery funding.
