MAD Distribution Takes MENA Rights To Annemarie Jacir’s ‘Palestine 36’ - EFM
The hot-button epic about Palestine’s 1936 revolt against British colonial rule features Jeremy Irons ( A Reversal of Fortunes), Hiam Abbas ( Succession) and Kamel El Basher ( The Idol) in a high-profile international cast. The drama follows the character of Yusuf as he drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest of 1936 Mandate Palestine, where several villages have been rising up against British rule. Amid these calls for independence, rising numbers of Jewish immigrants are escaping an increasingly fascistic Europe and arriving in Palestine, setting up an inevitable collision that would culminate in a pivotal moment for the British Empire and for the future of the entire Middle East region.
