In celebration of International Women's Day, join Anera on Wednesday, March 6th at 5:30 pm for a screening of Naila and the Uprising - The Movie. Our screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with Just Vision's Executive Director, Suhad Babaa, and Anera Board Member, Sanaa Abouzaid.
About the film:
When a nation-wide uprising breaks out in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, a young woman in Gaza must make a choice between love, family, and freedom. Undaunted, she embraces all three, joining a clandestine network of women in a movement that forces the world to recognize the Palestinian right to self-determination for the first time. Naila and the Uprising chronicles the remarkable journey of Naila Ayesh and a fierce community of women at the frontlines, whose stories weave through the most vibrant, nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history – the First Intifada in the late 1980s.
