Al-Nakba: The Palestinian Catastrophe
2008 | 1 seasons | 5 episodes | 8.0 ★ (1)
- Overview
Four-part series on the 'nakba', meaning the 'catastrophe', about the history of the Palestinian exodus that led to the first Arab-Israeli war in 1948, and the establishment of the state of Israel. Arab, Israeli and Western intellectuals, historians and eye-witnesses provide the central narrative which is accompanied by archive material and documents, many only recently released for the first time. It begins in 1799 with Napoleon's attempted advance into Palestine to check British expansion and his appeal to the Jews of the world to reclaim their land in league with France, before moving through the 19th and 20th centuries, the British Mandate in Palestine, up to the 21st century and the ongoing 'nakba' on the ground.
