Active Lebanon welcomes you to a screening of the movie "The Last Sky". A gripping documentary about the plight of Palestinians told through Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
After the screening, there will be a panel discussion with Rana Issa and Khaled Zaza about the situation in Lebanon and Palestine.
- Rana Issa is a Lebanese/Palestinian thinker and writer who holds a PhD from the University of Oslo. Her doctoral work on the Bible explores how translation emerged as a tool for synchronization in the 19th century. She has also published translations of the Syrian writer Yassin Hajj Saleh.
- Khaled Zaza, a Lebanese lawyer and researcher specializing in international law and human rights from the University of Oslo. He has over 10 years of experience in providing legal advice to NGOs, researchers and private actors, and is the founder of Zaza Consulting, working on projects in the MENA region. Zaza has expertise in refugees, minorities, terrorism and peacebuilding, and is currently participating in a PRIO project investigating dialogue between civil society and religious actors in Lebanon.
The event is free of charge but we encourage everyone to donate an unrestricted amount to help raise money for the Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittas Childrens Fund which provides health care for children in Gaza.
About the movie:
What is behind Israel's war on Gaza? Why are Israel and Hezbollah on the brink of full-scale war? In this gripping debut documentary, Lebanese-Australian lawyer Nicholas Hanna explores these questions and the crucial context of the Gaza genocide that is largely overlooked by the mainstream media.
"The Last Sky" focuses on the highly relevant but often overlooked perspective of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, who share their insights with refreshing candor and clarity. Filmed in Lebanon and Occupied Palestine, "The Last Sky" is a must-see documentary for anyone interested in understanding the genocide in Gaza and the escalating conflict in the region.
The screening is organized by Active Lebanon.
