The film screening will be followed by discussions with the film director Mohammad Bakri.

After twenty-one years, the shadows of Israeli pursuits 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 documentary served as a vivid testament to the devastation and oppression experienced by its people. The film became a point of legal contention, with Israeli authorities accusing Bakri of distorting the truth and damaging the image of the Israeli army. Courts ruled to ban the film's screening and confiscate all copies. Now, in 2023, with history repeating itself, the Israeli military has launched another destructive assault on the Jenin camp. Bakri, once again armed with his camera, returns to document the aftermath of this devastation.

This documentary is targeted at audiences interested in political documentaries, human rights activism, and those who are deeply concerned with the Palestinian struggle. It is also suited for academic circles, researchers, and anyone interested in Middle Eastern politics, conflict studies, and history.
