Watertown Palestinian Film Series
The Palestine Committee of Watertown Citizens for Peace, Justice and the Environment is offering a series of documentary and feature films that explores the history and culture of the Palestinian people and provides a picture of their life under Israeli occupation. Our upcoming film is FROM GROUND ZERO: STORIES FROM GAZA on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2026
Untold stories of Gaza's Ground Zero is a 2024 anthology film directed by 22 different Palestinian directors. The film is made up of 22 short films, including documentaries, fiction, animation and experimental films about the current situation of the people of the Gaza Strip in the midst of the Gaza war.
From Democracy Now- “… seeks to transform ‘numbers into names, voices, and human beings with dreams,’ serving as a powerful act of documentation and resistance against the erasure of Palestinian memory and culture. It aims to focus on "the normal stories" of survival and perseverance as a piece of ‘cinema for humanity.’”
