Palestinian Unwanted
Synopsis
‘Palestinian Unwanted’ takes place after 7 October 2023 and the ongoing catastrophe in Gaza – a reality unfolding on screen, accompanied by broad political support in the West. Told from the personal perspective of Danish-Palestinian film director Omar Shargawi, we follow his involvement in the Palestinian movement in Denmark. Together with other activists, he confronts politicians and the media and turns his attention to Denmark’s role – from political support and arms exports to a public discourse characterised by silence, one-sidedness and the demonisation of Palestinians.
