Life Is Beautiful: A Letter To Gaza

directed by Mohamed Jabaly (1 hr 36 min)

Description:

Exiled above the arctic circle in Norway and refusing to accept the boundaries imposed by international politics & rigid bureaucracy, Palestinian filmmaker Mohamed Jabaly insists on telling heartfelt stories from his hometown Gaza. Despite his statelessness and having only limited connection to his family abroad, he manages to channel support from friends and his own creativity, adhering to his motto LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. And throughout it all, he fights for his rights with integrity, community, and a smile for the world.

Email us at DissPS@protonmail.com to reserve your seats.

Time:
1.30 (film starts 1.45 pm)
Where:
Walden Room, Diss Corn Hall (upstairs, lift available)

Please share this invite with friends who want to learn more than what they hear via mainstream media.

The Corn Hall Cafe will be open as normal before the film.  Please bring water with you if you think you might need it during the screening.

We hope our screenings will increase our knowledge and understanding and do so in a community setting rather than isolated in our own homes. There will be time to gently chat among ourselves after the film if we wish; no need to rush out if you just want to sit for a while.

In solidarity
