1936. As villages across Mandatory Palestine rise against British colonial rule, Yusuf (Karim Daoud Anaya) drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest.

Annemarie Jacir’s (Wajib) remarkable historical drama deftly depicts the febrile tensions that led to the Great Palestinian Revolt of 1936-39. Experiencing displacement, poverty and escalating violence, the villagers of Mandatory Palestine rise up against British Colonial rule – sparking the flame of the Arab resistance movement. An epic and essential film, Hiam Abbass (Succession, Bye Bye Tiberas) and Jeremy Irons round out a fantastic cast.
