Palestine 36

Chronicling the 1936 Arab revolt against British rule, Annemarie Jacir’s PALESTINE 36 stars Hiam Abbass (Ramy), Robert Aramayo (I Swear), Saleh Bakri (All That’s Left of You), and Jeremy Irons.

1936. As villages across mandatory Palestine rise against British colonial rule, Yusuf (Karim Daoud Anaya) drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest. But history is relentless. With rising numbers of Jewish immigrants escaping antisemitism in Europe, and the Palestinian population uniting in the largest and longest uprising against Britain's 30-year dominion, all sides spiral towards inevitable collision in a decisive moment for the British Empire and the future of the entire region.
