Lochaber Supports Palestine group enjoys documentary screening
Lochaber Supports Palestine’s final event of 2024 was a film screening and a question and answer session in Kilmallie Hall.
Mohamad Zwahra.
On My Land is a documentary made by Mohamad Zwahra which traces the impact of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank through the stories of his family, from his grandfather to his own experiences as a 25-year old filmmaker.
Before the screening, Marie Nolan from Lochaber Supports Palestine welcomed everyone to the meeting and Sean Kelly, founder of the The Gundelia Trust, a charity which had helped fund the tour of the film, also spoke.
After the screening, Zwahra took questions from the audience before retired Lochaber surgeon David Sedgwick read poems. This was followed by an electric candlelight vigil.
On My Land is currently on a 17 date tour of the UK. It has already visited England and Scotland and is about to move on to Ireland.
Founded in Scotland, The Gundelia Trust was established in 2024 to address the needs of grassroots communities in the West Bank, occupied Palestinian territories.
Sean spoke about the work of the charity, especially in association with the Al-Shmoh Cultural Centre, where Mohamad Zwahra is a volunteer.
Despite poor weather, the screening raised £492.
The next meeting will be held in the Small Hall when Lochaber Supports Palestine will look to form a committee as a way of moving onto a more professional footing.
Anyone wishing to get involved can either attend the meeting on Friday January 17 at 7pm or email lochaberlsp@gmail.com
