The Nakba archive (selections)

Diana Allan, Zeidan Mahmoud 3007 docu 120 min.

Since 2002, the Nakba Archive has recorded over 450 eyewitness testimonies
with Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon. This screening consists of a
selection of interviews taken from this growing resource. The collection of
interviews reconstructs through personal memories the social, cultural and
political life in Palestine prior to 1948, and documents the events that
led up to the expulsions. These powerful materials combine to offer a
unique audiovisual record for scholars, researchers, and campaigners
working in this field, as well as a historical and political resource for
future generations of Palestinians. The archive gives voices to individual
histories and stands as a public act of witness to the continuing legacy of
1948.
