Palestinians mark anniversary of 1948 expulsion from their homes

Marking the 74th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), as Palestinians describe the 1948 war and its aftermath, Rami Younis, a Palestinian journalist and filmmaker from al-Lyd, in central Israel, tells the story of his hometown. Rami describes what motivated him, co-director Sarah Emma Friedland and Executive Producer, Roger Waters, to make what they call a science-fiction documentary about the city’s past, present and an alternative future.

For Palestinians, Nakba Day does not just represent a historical event, it commemorates the loss of their homeland in 1948.
