NEXT MONDAY: the US TV premiere of A World Not Ours —a passionate, heartbreaking and witty documentary from Nakba FilmWorks that looks at the friends and relatives of filmmaker Mahdi Fleifel who live in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon. Its a must-watch —and so critical to understanding the painful and bittersweet nostalgia that come with displacement and having a homeland without a home: My film is about memory and the need to remember. Forgetting for us Palestinians would simply mean ceasing to exist. Our fight throughout history, and still today, is to remain visible. Making this film is a way of reinforcing and strengthening our collective memory. But most important, it was a way to make a record of my own family history.” buff.ly/1kDMWh2
