The Land Speaks Arabic

The Land Speaks Arabic

The film documents the late 19th-century birth of Zionism and its repercussions for Palestinians. Brings together rarely-seen footage of Palestine before 1948 juxtaposed with original source documents, eyewitness accounts, stunning choreography, moving testimonials, and interviews with historians. This award-winning film shows that the expulsion of the indigenous Arab population from Palestine was far from an accidental result of the 1948 war, shining a spotlight on the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the Zionist movement.
