Why I turned my camera from Hollywood to Palestine | Misan Harriman
This week on The Big Picture Podcast we’re joined by celebrated photographer and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Misan Harriman. Harriman has built a global following through his moving black and white photography of the world’s most recognisable faces, becoming the first ever Black photographer to shoot the cover of Vogue. Since then, he made his directorial debut with the emotional short film ruminating on grief, The After, which was nominated for an Academy Award in 2024. His new documentary,...

Francesca Albanese exposed a global "economy of genocide", then she was sanctioned
Just two days after we sat down with Francesca Albanese, the Trump Administration placed her under sanctions. They accuse the UN Special Rapporteur of waging “economic warfare” on the United States. She says the sanctions are “mafia style intimidation techniques” and vows to continue her work to remind states of their obligations to “stop and punish genocide. And those who profit from it.” So why has the US taken such a drastic move? That has a lot to do with a scathing report Albanese just...

Silicon Valley, Israel and the new AI arms race | Antony Loewenstein
What does the war look like in the age of AI? This week on the Big Picture Podcast, we’re joined by author and investigative journalist Antony Loewenstein. We spoke to Loewenstein early in 2024 about his best-selling book ‘The Palestine Laboratory’ - which chronicled how Israel tests high tech weapons in Gaza before exporting them to the world. Since then, The Palestine Laboratory has been turned into a documentary with Al Jazeera, where Loewenstein travels to Mexico, Greece, India and Sou...

Norman Finkelstein on Israel, Zohran Mamdani and the coming class war
In a fiery and deeply personal return to The Big Picture Podcast, professor Norman Finkelstein explains why Israel and its allies in the West have destroyed the international order, and how the election of a Muslim socialist in New York threatens their grip on power.

He is the author of The Holocaust Industry and most recently, I’ll Burn That ...

The Israel-Iran war is more dangerous than we imagine | David Hearst
This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we sit down with Middle East Eye’s Editor in Chief David Hearst to talk about the rapidly unfolding war between Israel and Iran, why the West supports it and what it threatens to unleash on the global order. So what does Israel really want to achieve, what options does Iran have to deescalate, and will the United States stop the war, or join it? We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show. Reach u...

How the Military Industrial Complex really works | William Hartung
NOTE: This conversation was recorded in November 2024, which is why you'll hear references to the elections and the Biden Administration. This week on The Big Picture, we sit down with military analyst and author William Hartung. Hartung is a senior fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and in 2010 published Prophets of War: Lockheed Martin and the Military Industrial-Complex - a seminal work that examined how military lobby groups shaped public policy, and how White Ho...

Trump and Zionists want to scare us into silence. We won’t let them | Linda Sarsour
Why haven’t there been mass protests against Trump like there were in 2017? Part of the reason is the climate of fear and uncertainty that now proliferates throughout many communities, from student activists on IV league campuses to undocumented migrants. The arrests of pro-Palestine students Mahmoud Khalil, Mohsen Mahdawi and Rumeysa Ozturk among others, and the deportation of hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador, some of whom legal US residents, has left many in shock about the direction...

Pope Francis and the Muslim World | Jordan Denari Duffner
The catholic world is grieving the loss of Pope Francis, but so is much of the Muslim one. Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Argentina, Pope Francis spent much of his life reaching out across religious lines, forming monumental friendships with Muslims, from refugee families to Islamic scholars to Palestinians. In his final Easter Sunday sermon just hours before his death, he called on the world to protect the sanctity of life in Gaza, and work towards a lasting ceasefire that saved Palestini...
