Join us for the screening of A State of Passion! This important documentary follows British-Palestinian surgeon Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah after his 43-day ordeal in the besieged hospitals of Gaza, where he became a symbol of Palestinian resilience. The film explores why he returns despite the trauma and how his family copes, revealing an answer that lies in his unbreakable commitment: Palestine.

Following the screening, we will have the opportunity to converse with a member of the collectives sanitarisxpalestina and health workers for Palestine Spain, who has experience both in the West Bank and in Gaza.

Set in 1936, Palestine ’36 follows Yusuf, a man caught between his village and his work in

Jerusalem as anti-colonial resistance grows under the tightening grip of the British Empire.

Against this backdrop, Jewish refugees fleeing persecution in Europe arrive in Palestine, and

all sides converge in a moment that will shape the region’s future. Jacir’s film is an evocative

portrait of people navigating belonging, identity, and resistance during a time of immense

change. Her drama offers a gripping account of a critical moment in Palestinian history,

brought to life by a stellar ensemble cast that includes Hiam Abbass, Jeremy Irons, and

Saleh Bakri.
