Dir. Annemarie Jacir, Palestine, United Kingdom, France, 2025, 120 mins. In Arabic and English with English subtitles. Cast. Hiam Abbass, Kamel Al Basha, Yasmine Al-Massri, Jeremy Irons.
1936. As villages across Mandatory Palestine rise against British colonial rule, Yusuf drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest. But history is relentless. With rising numbers of Jewish immigrants escaping antisemitism in Europe, and the Palestinian population uniting in the largest and longest uprising against Britain’s 30-year dominion, all sides spiral towards inevitable collision in a decisive moment for the British Empire and the future of the entire region.
Chronicling the lives of local farmers, revolutionaries and business owners, Jacir’s drama is a gripping account of a critical moment in Palestinian history, conveyed by a stellar ensemble cast that includes Hiam Abbass, Jeremy Irons and Saleh Bakri.
