Lyd - Film Screening and Discussion with IHSS Visiting Scholar historian Tawfiq Da'adli

A film by Rami Younis & Sarah Ema Friedland

1 hour 19 mins, 2024

A sci-fi documentary that follows the rise and fall of Lyd - a 5,000-year-old metropolis that was once a bustling Palestinian town until it was conquered when the State of Israel was established in 1948.

As the film unfolds, a chorus of characters creates a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city and the trauma left by the massacre and expulsion.
