A Palestina Brazileira

Omar Luiz de Barros Filho

2018 - Brésil - Portugais - VOST anglais - 1h19

The filming took place in two stages: in Rio Grande do Sul, where the discreet and the largest Palestinian community live in Brazil; and also in Palestine (see photo gallery). Here, six families of immigrants and refugees narrate their diaspora from the 1950s onwards. They reveal how they adapted to the local culture and how they stil) maintain relations with relatives and friends who stayed in the Middle East. In the West Bank, illegally occupied by lsraeli settlers and military, the villages and towns -where Palestinians and Brazilians reside linked to the characters living in Brazil - were documented. The film shows, in images and dramatic accounts, the affective, cultural, political and economic ties that remain preserved, despite distance and oppression.
