Translation / Interpretation / Caption Text

My Very Private Map (1998) · Palestinians refer to their 1948 expulsion and exodus from the territory of the newly-founded state of Israel as “al-Nakba” — “the Catastrophe.” In this film, made to mark the 50th anniversary of those events, Palestinian subjects express regret at leaving their homeland and also speak of their betrayal by the Arab states and the West. 22 mins.Source: Pacific Cinémathèque
