Naji el Ali: an artist with vision

Kasim Abid 1999 docu 60 min.

The 1987 assassination in London of the legendary Palestinian political
cartoonist and satirist, Naji el Ali remains an unsolved crime. But this
powerful documentary supplies clues as to his killers through a detailed
and informative examination of his prolific life's work. Shot in Lebanon,
Palestine and London, the film draws on archive footage of el Ali, as well
as interviews with his widow Widad and several of the many Arab poets,
activists and artists whom el Ali befriended. This is a rare insight into
one of the icons of the Palestinian political left and arguably one of the
most important political artists in modern history.
