  No Other Land 2024

  Watched 13 Feb 2025

  Sumud, it’s so much more than resilience, steadfastness, how much of it does a Palestinian need to stay in a land that they know will be demolished, filled with cement and cartridges?

  Gaza Surf Club 2017

  Watched 17 Dec 2023

  ibrahim: “5 children were killed on the beach, part of the elbakri family”
  interviewer: “aRe thEre any GiRl sUrfeRs in gAzA?”
  this is the white-centric vision of any Muslim country, I agree it’s oppressive, women SHOULD be allowed to surf but that’s on the patriarchy and not on Islam.
  The point of “they live under an oppressive OCCUPATION that takes their houses and MURDERS them” is always missed. Women are doubly oppressed but they can’t liberate themselves under a siege (and now a genocide).
  Nonetheless, beautiful little documentary on a group of people trying to take their minds off the terror they constantly live in.
