Sarah Ema Friedland's work as a filmmaker and educator shows the wild, radical potential of documentary. In this episode, Sarah takes listeners through unlearning liberal Zionism and college lessons that helped her avoid Birthright. She also describes how Cuban film school and Palestinian filmmakers influence her work. Sarah and Rami Younis' sci-fi documentary about the city of Lyd offers an opportunity to nerd out on third cinema and speculative fiction. More importantly, the film shows the complexity and radical possibility found in the collective work of imagining and struggling toward a free Palestine.
