Resistance and The Media: A Conversation About Palestine

‘Palestinian Unwanted’ was made after 7 October and is a film fuelled by strong emotions. Anger, desperation, fear – but also the will and courage to speak one’s mind and oppose others. As civilian death tolls rise in Gaza and cities lie in ruins, Shargawi and his like-minded colleagues try to rouse the public and politicians, while at the same time trying to hold themselves together. A film that will stand as a document of the very time in which it was made, and of a filmmaker’s personal and political mission to change it. 

 

But Omar’s mission is not an easy one. We therefore invite you to a panel discussion about the Danish media’s coverage of the war in Gaza. A conversation about responsibility and powerlessness, about the future, and about the encounters between the media and humanity. The discussion will be moderated by Mads Frimann Petersen from TV2.
