Join us on Tuesday October 27th from 7 to 10/11 PM at Literair Cafe de Graanrepubliek (Gedempte Kattendiep 11) for a Palestine Movie Fundraiser!

‘Alam’ (2022) is a coming-of-age movie that captures the struggles and joys of adolescence, while also tackling the experience of being a young Palestinian citizen, and the wider Palestinian struggle . It explicitly lays out how Israel’s control over its Palestinian citizens and its systemic erasure of Palestinian history manifests in daily life. The oppression Palestinians face becomes the driving force of a group of teens’ mission to replace the Israeli flag raised atop their school with a Palestinian one. Hence, the movie title ‘Alam’ which translates to ‘flag’ from Arabic.

With this movie screening, we would like to fundraise for Alaa’s family in Gaza, who needs our support 🇵🇸🙏 If you are not able to attend but still want to donate, you can go to fugitivebooks.nl/alaa.

After the movie, we will have a short discussion where everyone is welcome to share their thoughts.

The event will take place on the upper floor of the Graanrepubliek, which means it is not wheelchair accesible. Please come up once you arrive. You can purchase drinks from the bar downstairs whenever you like.
