From the show

His recent documentary, “From Ground Zero”, is a cinematic mosaic of life in Gaza since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023 sparked all-out war in the region. Rashid Masharawi joins us to talk about the work of documenting the struggles and tragedies of the Palestinian people, as well as the moments of joy and hope. Rashid’s new film, “Passing Dreams”, explores family ties and the quest for freedom, in a landscape where geopolitical tensions affect every aspect of day-to-day life. We also discuss cinema’s great potential and his hope that Palestinian filmmakers can one day make features without campaigning for a cause.
