in partnership with Save Our Story Inc wants to find out and share what he finds in real time.
The consequences of Election 2024 will prove as vital for Gaza as they will for Israel-USA entangled in this cycle of war and death.
Through an exciting series of 6 short documentaries Filistia will examine the collision of international and national issues presented by the Gaza war, and explore how the reverberations of his people's struggle for freedom, for justice, for dignity is fast becoming emblematic of so many other American struggles.
