Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPtJun 8

I am more than familiar with Palestine history during the British occupation -its crimes and legacy - and yet. Watching #Palestine36 was a gut-wrenching experience.

Gentle as it can be, Palestinian storytelling cannot hide the horror of the crimes Palestinians have endured.

@FranceskAlbs #Palestine36 proves that history in Palestine is not a past we return to, but rather the present we have not yet left. The British atrocities and crimes during the revolution were not just a passing colonial legacy, but were the 'first blueprint' for the reality of genocide and ethnic cleansing that our people are living through today. The gentleness in telling the Palestinian story within the film did not hide the ugliness of the wound, but rather made it clearer and deeper🇵🇸🇵🇸
