Using rare archival footage, Palestine 36 casts a timely light on Britain’s long-standing legacy of violence in the Middle East and is a powerful testament to Palestinian resistance.

With increasing Jewish immigration from Europe and a widespread Palestinian uprising against three decades of British domination, tensions mount and all sides spiral toward a decisive, history‑shaping collision.
