Féile will host the Derry premiere of Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk, a powerful new documentary about a Palestinian photojournalist later killed by Israeli missiles, at the Nerve Centre on Monday 8 September.
The film is an intimate, first-hand perspective of life in Gaza, told through a series of video calls between filmmaker Sepideh Farsi and young Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona.
Just a day after the film was selected for screening at the Cannes Film Festival – one of the most renowned platforms for international cinema – Fatma was tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike on her home.
The film portrays the stark realities of daily life during conflict in Gaza, seen through the eyes of those trapped in an endless cycle of war and living under siege and military occupation.

A donation will be made from all sales to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) to support medical and humanitarian efforts in Gaza and the West Bank.
