Jerusalem Conflict: The Ali Jiddah Story
Jerusalem Conflict: The Ali Jiddah Story explores the complex and deeply rooted tensions surrounding the Old City of Jerusalem. While conflict in the region intensified following the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, questions remain about whether the struggle for Jerusalem is purely religious, political, or something far more layered.
In this documentary, Ali M. Jiddah, an Afro-Palestinian who served a lengthy prison sentence for his involvement in the Palestinian national struggle, shares his personal experiences and perspective on the realities of life in and around the Old City. Through his story, the film examines narratives often absent from mainstream discourse, offering insight into identity, resistance, and the human cost of conflict.
Jerusalem Conflict invites viewers to consider the deeper historical and social forces shaping one of the world’s most contested cities.
