Description

Join the Ottawa Chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement, Ottawa Healthcare Professionals for Palestine, and Labour for Palestine Ottawa on Wednesday, September 3rd, at 6:30pm for a one-night screening of A State of Passion, followed by a live Q&A with filmmaker Carol Mansour and Dr. Yipeng! Tickets are a minimum 5$ donation. All profits will be donated to the The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund.

 

After 43 horrific days working round the clock under constant bombardment in the emergency rooms of Gaza’s hospitals, British-Palestinian reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, emerged to find himself as a face of Palestinian resistance. This was Ghassan’s sixth and most horrific Gaza “war”. Why does he do it? The answer lies simply in their shared passion: Palestine.

 

Filmmakers Carol Mansour and Muna Khalidi, close friends of the Abu Sittahs, waited anxiously for Ghassan to emerge from Gaza, following a long and terrifying journey through the night, to meet him in Amman.  Determined to capture his raw emotions they began filming him the moment he arrived through the door. Following him to Beirut, Amman, London, and Kuwait, they and he explore their common State of Passion.

PYM

The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) is a grassroots, international movement that organizes Palestinian and Arab youth to struggle for Palestinian liberation.

PYM draws from Palestinian revolutionary history, where the participation of youth in the national struggle has been central in leading and sustaining our struggle. We believe that Palestinian youth have a right and responsibility, even in the far diaspora, to be active participants in working to liberate our people and land from the river to the sea.
