Description

The first of ten sessions of a season of Palestinian films and discussions, held at WFA Media and Cultural Centre in Manchester. Following a screening of the film Revolution Until Victory, Dr Khalil Hindi, a Palestinian living in Britain and a lecturer at UMIST, talks about the issues raised in the film and recent developments. He takes questions/contributions from the floor.

Followed by a performance on 4 April 1987 (3rd session of the season) by a group of Palestinian musicians from the Union of Palestinian Students in London who play lute, drum and vocals and perform traditional Palestinian songs which express their struggle. There is some translation into English.
