Advance Price: £7.50

Leeds Palestinian Film Festival and Otley Film Society present: Marwan – Tomorrow’s Freedom

Tomorrow’s Freedom takes you on a brutally honest, transformative journey into the heart of the Israel- Palestine conflict, speaking to Palestinians and Israelis on both sides.

Marwan Barghouthi is an elected member of parliament and played a crucial role in the Oslo Peace Accords in the 90s. In 2000, he was a key figure in leading the second Intifada against Israeli occupation. Two years in, Marwan was arrested and accused of ordering terror attacks in Tel Aviv. After 1000 days of isolation and his court case, he was sentenced to 5 life sentences. Recent polls suggest Barghouthi could be elected President of Palestine. The story is told through the Barghouthi family and his wife Fadwa, a lawyer and force for female empowerment.
Palestinian goods will be available for sale and a guest speaker will be confirmed nearer the time.
