National Pride : from Jericho to Gaza
Sven Augustijnen
In the wake of Palestinian memory, National Pride: From Jericho to Gaza follows Hassan Al Balawi, a diplomat based in Brussels, returning to his homeland on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the death of Yasser Arafat—a tutelary figure of the liberation struggle and leader of the PLO. Filmed in 2019, the film traces his journey from Jericho to the Gaza border, through an occupied West Bank where every checkpoint, every landscape, bears the imprint of broken promises.
