About this Event
Cairsti Russell, Stephen Sheriff, Right to Movement Palestine and Camcorder Guerillas (78 mins), 2022
Palestinians in the West Bank cannot move more than 10 kilometres without being stopped by Israeli restrictions.
Checkpoints, demands for permits, and the apartheid wall surrounding the occupied territories, are part of the a struggle of daily life.
‘Freedom to Run’ follows two groups of runners, one from Right to Movement in Palestine, and one from Scotland. The two groups of runners support each other as they run both the Palestine and Edinburgh Marathons and on this journey the runners discover they are not so different, but they live very different lives.
There will be a Q & A with the filmmakers and members of Healthcare Workers for Palestine after the screening.
Organised in collaboration with Glasgow Health Workers for Palestine and Govanhill Baths Community Trust.
