Annemarie Jacir on Palestine 36 and the Power of Cinema

In this episode, our editor-in-chief, Yumna Patel sits down with Palestine 36's writer and director, Annemarie Jacir, to explore the creative, historical, and political forces behind one of the most epif films on Palestine. Palestine 36 brings to life the 1936–1939 Arab Revolt against British colonial rule — a pivotal yet often overlooked chapter in Palestinian history that ripples into the present day. Jacir discusses her process of reclaiming suppressed narratives, blending personal memory with archival research, and the challenges of making a sweeping historical drama under the shadow of Israeli occupation.  - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.
