Today: Online Documentary and Discussion on Palestinian Refugees

This evening, Thursday the 19th of November, the Palestine Center will webcast right here “Identity Without a Homeland,” one-part of the documentary series, "Chronicles of a Refugee."

The video starts at 6:30 PM.

The video unpacks the meaning and attributes of Palestinian identity today, given the experience of 60 years of dispossession and refugee status around the world. Taboo subjects, such as the role of refugee camps, the usefulness of citizenship, etc. are debated by those who live with the consequences of decisions taken about these matters.

The video will be followed by a webcast discussion with Adam Shapiro, one of the filmmakers (starting at 7:40 PM).

Adam Shapiro is human rights activist and documentary filmmaker. He was co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement in Palestine. He has made the documentaries About Baghdad (2005), Darfur Diaries: Message from Home (2006), Becoming Nadya (2007) and Nowhere to Flee (2007).

To participate in this event, come back to this website and tune in at 6:30PM EST on November 19th.
