Even Though My Land is Burning

In the face of the daily violence and oppression of Israel’s occupation of Palestine, some Israelis and Palestinians still believe that resisting together can lead to a shared life in a just and free country for all. A decade after the Palestinian popular resistance against the apartheid wall began, “Even Though My Land is Burning” tells the story of Israeli-Jewish anti-Zionist activists and their role in the Palestinian popular struggle against the occupation and confiscation of land today, through a cinematic snapshot of one such activist ́s involvement in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh.

“Now we can’t stop. After everything we sacrificed we can’t stop. We have to continue. It’s like you went through a dark tunnel, so you can’t stop in the middle of darkness…”
