Naila and the Uprising²⁰¹⁷

The remarkable story of Naila Ayesh, who played a key role in the Palestinian uprising known as the First Intifada (1987).

This documentary tells the story of Palestinian activist Naila Ayesh and highlights the role of women in the First Palestinian Uprising. The film mainly shows the Palestinian perspective, while Israeli points of view are absent or only marginally represented. It can therefore be perceived as one-sided. Supporters see it as an important contribution to the visibility of women in the resistance, while critics criticize the lack of balance.
