I (Veronica) recently watched this film and came away feeling compelled to get as many people as possible to experience it.

I would like to encourage you to invite someone along, who normally doesn't engage with what's happening in Palestine.

I strongly believe that films like this deserve a conversation afterwards and I'm thrilled that Yousef has agreed to come along to share his heart & knowledge.

In case you don't know, Yousef Alreemawi is a multi-talented and award-winning intellectual of Palestinian origin.

Despite his mobility disability, Yousef has excelled in several domains. Besides lecturing in Arabic and being a translator, he also is a musician, political analyst and writer. 

He founded and led many grassroots initiatives that have made a significant impact on Australian society. These include: Palestine Remembered program on Radio 3CR; The ASPIRE refugee project; Tarab Ensemble; and Averroes Centre of Arab Culture.

In recognition of his work, Yousef has won numerous awards including: the "Eureka Australia Medal" in 2017, "The Palestinian of the Year" in 2021, which is an international award endorsed by the Palestinian Ministry of Culture, and the Ambassador for Peace Award by The Universal Peace Federation in 2025.

Payment:

100% of the profits of the ticket sales will go to Yousef to pay him for his time and expertise.

Donations & raffle:

100% of the profits will go to “Hebron Human Rights Defenders” who throughout the year gathered footage of Palestinian life and of Israeli aggression against Palestinians.

They are very courageous people as it is very dangerous for them living in the heart of the H2 area of Hebron (Al Khalil). And they do a whole range of community development work outside of documenting the occupation. 

Gratitude:

Very big thanks and respect to Dare to Struggle Films who donated this viewing to us. It would be wonderful if you could thank them by organising your own viewing to share with your circles. Apparently their other film, PALESTINE UNDER SIEGE is just as good.

Debrief:

Please TEXT questions to Veronica that she will share anonymously with Yousef for discussion after the viewing. We will attempt to answer as many as possible.

Various Happily Made handicrafts will be used as prizes...along with the best cheesecake you'll ever taste to the person who purchases the most raffle tickets :)

PLEASE BE AT FOMO CINEMA AT 3:45PM...the film starts at 4pm.
