Film: Palestinians Don’t Need Sidewalks

- Genocide, Resistance, Complicity. 75 minutes. See trailer here

This is Dare to Struggle Films, sequel to Palestine under Siege, by film makers John Reynolds and Jill Hickson. A documentary on the Palestinian struggle for self-determination.

Palestinians Don't Need Sidewalks takes us on a journey through occupied Palestine.
It profiles, through Palestinian eyes, life under Israeli occupation.
The film builds on the investigation of a Jewish professor, a
Palestinian Australian student activist and a former politician into
Israel’s settler colonial, apartheid society as documented in “Palestine
Under Siege”.

In 2024 “Dare to Struggle” partnered with the “Hebron Human Rights
Defenders” who throughout the year gathered footage of Palestinian life
and of Israeli aggression against Palestinians. They also conducted
interviews as a reflection of life for Palestinians after October 7th.

The film also investigates Australia’s complicity
with the Israeli-US genocide of Palestinians. Both major Australian
political parties are endeavouring to reinvigorate our manufacturing
industry by integrating it into the US military supply chain.
