After twenty-one years, the shadows of Israeli pursuit continue to relentlessly chase Palestinian director Mohammed Bakri for his documentary “Jenin… Jenin.” Originally filmed after the brutal Israeli invasion of the Jenin refugee camp in 2002, the film exposed the devastation and oppression experienced by its people. In Israel, authorities accused Bakri of distorting the truth and damaging the image of the Israeli army, and film screenings were prohibited and all copies confiscated. 

In 2023, history repeats itself as the Israeli military has launched another destructive assault on the Jenin camp. Bakri once again returns with his camera to document the aftermath of this devastation. In Arabic with English subtitles. The screening will be followed by discussion with film director Mohammad Bakri.
