DARE TO STRUGGLE NEWEST FILM PROJECT
The Dare to Struggle Film Unit is making a number of documentaries about the struggle of Palestinian people against Israeli settler colonialism, the apartheid nature of the Israeli state and the essential role of international solidarity in winning justice for the Palestinian people. In June and July 2023, we filmed in Beirut and Palestine.
We are currently launching the first film, Palestine Under Siege, which will be freely available for Palestinian solidarity events, before the end of 2023. The Maritime Union of Australia and the Dare to Struggle Film Unit have provided financial support for the project. Australian participants paid their own travel and accommodation costs. Participants in this project: are film makers, John Reynolds and Jill Hickson, Dr Peter Slezak UNSW Honorary Associate Professor of Philosophy, Rand Darwish, Palestinian student activist, former Greens Senator, Lee Rhiannon and Bashir Sawalha, President of the United Australian Palestinian Workers Association.
A consistent message Palestinians conveyed to us from the refugee camps in Beirut to the front line in the battles to stop house demolitions in Jerusalem and the West Bank was – “please take word of our struggle to the world”.
