Event description

What is behind Israel’s war on Gaza? Why do so many Palestinians support armed struggle? Why are Israel and Hezbollah on the brink of full-scale war?

In this hard-hitting debut documentary, Lebanese Australian lawyer Nicholas Hanna explores these questions and the crucial context of the Israel-Palestine conflict that is largely ignored by the mainstream media.

The Last Sky focusses on the highly relevant yet largely overlooked perspective of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, who share their insights with refreshing candour and clarity.

Filmed in Lebanon and Occupied Palestine, the Last Sky is a must-see documentary for anyone interested in understanding the Gaza genocide and the escalating conflict in the region.

Director Nicholas Hanna is a Lebanese-Australian lawyer and first-time filmmaker based in Sydney. He is flying over to support this fundraising screening and be present for Q+A following the 54min documentary

He is a long-standing ally of the Palestinians, whose involvement in campaigning and fundraising activities began more than 20 years ago. More recently, he has provided pro bono legal services to various people participating in pro-Palestine protests, direct action and other solidarity work.

Producer Rihab Charida is a Palestinian media producer and filmmaker based in Beirut. She is the daughter of Palestinian refugees who were expelled from their village Safsaf when it was invaded during the olive harvest of 1948.

The network expanded and developed a more formal national structure at a National Seminar in Christchurch in June 2019 and has become the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa – PSNA.

PSNA is committed to working with groups around Aotearoa-New Zealand and internationally to build and strengthen campaigns for a free Palestine.

PSNA aims to change public opinion and bring pressure on the New Zealand government to join the majority of the international community in requiring Israel to recognize and support the following principles:

A just peace in Palestine depends upon the return of Palestinian refugees to their homeland and the dismantling of the Zionist structure of the state of Israel, recognizing that the further partitioning of Palestine in order to create the so-called Two-State Solution would only lead to further injustice and suffering.
Acceptance of the primacy of international law and United Nations resolutions as the basis for the ending of military occupation and all forms of ethnic discrimination in Israel.
The international community's responsibility for upholding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the urgent need for the state of Israel to be called to account for its gross abuses of Palestinian human rights.
Justice requires the establishment of a single state in Palestine, bi-national, secular and democratic, with full and equal citizenship for all with ethnic and religious rights protected in a democratic constitution.
