FEATURED PROJECTS

Severed,

a new film about Gaza

Film Premiere
May 21
6:30pm at The People’s Forum

Severed tells the story of Mohamad Saleh, an 18-year-old from Gaza who has lived through five major assaults on the Gaza Strip. In those attacks, he lost his home, family members, his best friends, and, at the age of 12, his leg. Now living in exile in Egypt, Mohamad struggles to piece together the shattered fragments of his life. Through his eyes, the pain and trauma endured by thousands in Gaza are laid bare, alongside their remarkable strength, resilience, and determination to live.

Panel discussion with the filmmakers will follow, including the film's protagonist, Mohamad Saleh, film director, Jen Marlowe, and DSP Palestine Grassroots Distribution Project Director and journalist from Gaza, Fadi Abu Shammalah.

Masks are required for this event, and will be provided for those who do not have their own.

Severed is produced by Donkeysaddle Projects, +972 Magazine and The Nation, in partnership with Just Vision.

Tickets are free, though donations are welcome. Proceeds will support PGDP.
