Yallah Gaza

Tue 26 Nov · 18:00

Yallah Gaza by Roland Nurier, a French director, was filmed before the war swept devastation over the strip; in fact its first screening in Paris was scheduled for 4th October last year.

Documentary • Challenging • Powerful

Part of Tuesday Wonders

Part of Leeds Palestinian Film Festival

Yallah Gaza attempts to understand how people can live almost normally when the Occupier refuses them the most elementary human rights. The film records their daily struggle that keeps despair at bay and how they pass this flame, their culture and their land, onto generation after generation. Yallah Gaza bears witness to their “fury to live”. The film explores how the situation got to this point: the historical and geopolitical aspects, Zionism, Palestinian politics, International Rights and Law and the motivation that led the Gazans to recite the renowned poet Mahmoud Darwish: We Palestinians suffer from an incurable disease called “hope”.
