Ma'loul Celebrates its Destruction

Palestine | 1985 | 38 min | Documentary Ma’aloul is a Palestinian village in Galilee. It was destroyed by the Israeli army in 1948, and its people were deported to Lebanon and to the neighbouring city of Nazareth. Since then, they have only been allowed to return to Ma’aloul once a year, for the anniversary of the State of Israel’s independence. On the site where their demolished village once stood, they organise a picnic. A film by Michel Khleifi
