Watch the documentary ‘Palestine Under Siege’ with your Amnesty Group!
‘Palestine Under Siege’ takes you into the heart of the struggle for Palestinian self-determination. Survivors of Al Nakba along with Palestinian and Jewish activists, share their experiences and insights of living under Israeli apartheid.
Three Australians, Dr Peter Slezak, Rand Darwish and Lee Rhiannon, travelled to Palestine to conduct interviews and investigate Israel’s accelerating colonisation of Palestinian land.
This documentary was filmed and edited by Australian filmmakers, John Reynolds and Jill Hickson.
Dare to Struggle Film projects partnered with Wattan TV; a secular Palestinian television service operating in the West Bank and the Hebron Human Rights Defenders to produce this film. The project was also supported by “Defence for Children International – Palestine”.
Amnesty International Australia has partnered with the filmmakers of ‘Palestine Under Siege’ to develop short, accessible, school-friendly clips of the film that can be used to guide conversations in your Amnesty Groups. We encourage you to watch the film with your Amnesty Group! You can access it below in four short parts. If you have any questions or want to organise a screening of the full film at your school, please reach out to us at activism@amnesty.org.au.
We encourage you to watch these short video clips with your Amnesty Group and use them to guide and inform group discussions of the human rights implications of what was discussed in this film.
