Palestine 36 Review: A Historical Drama
Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir's film tackles the Great Palestinian Revolt of 1936, a moment of profound change that broke through British rule.
Annemarie Jacir had been working on the period drama before the pandemic, but the premiere was unexpectedly timed with the ongoing conflict.
In 2023, production was derailed after Hamas attacks, and by the time the film made it to the Toronto Film Festival, Israel had reportedly killed at least 63,000 people in Gaza.
Annemarie Jacir did not expect to premiere Palestine 36 during a genocide.
The film's release coincided with horrifying new topicality, bringing attention to the historical drama.
Author's summary: Historical drama tackles 1936 revolt.
