London’s Arab Film Club Launches Podcast, ‘Farha’ Filmmaker Darin J. Sallam Among First Guests


Actress and presenter Sarah Agha will host the podcast.

She is perhaps best known for presenting the acclaimed BBC doc The Holy Land And Us: Our Untold Stories with Rob Rinder about how the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war changed their family’s histories forever with the founding of the state of Israel. Selected films included features and shorts from Algeria, Egypt, the Golan Heights, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria and Tunisia. Annemarie Jacir wrote and directed Wajib (2017) which stars real-life father and son Mohammad and Salih Bakri acting in the lead roles.
