A narrative from the Palestinian diaspora told through VHS, 8mm, 16mm, HD video, photographs and animation, Trip Along Exodus is Hind Shoufani’s interpretation of her own father’s journey through 70 years of Palestinian history.

From the Galilee in 1948 to Princeton in the ‘60s, and from Beirut in the ‘70s to the current war in Syria, this is the story of a man who wrote over 25 books on politics and history, led the revolution in 1983 against Arafat, and who was a Revolutionary Council member and a military organiser for the Palestinians. A study of a dramatic life lived across several countries, both poetic and beautiful, yet harshly critical of the political developments in the Arab world.

Followed by a Q&A with director Hind Shoufani hosted by Andrew Kelly, director of Bristol Festival of Ideas.
