The Take: Shooting back from Palestine – the power of the image
Palestinians reclaim the narrative using social media to capture the war’s reality and shift global perceptions of Gaza.
The lens is now in Palestinian hands, capturing their reality at the heart of occupation and war. Their powerful images are exposing the horrors of conflict and leading people to turn to new media sources for information and redefine narratives. We hear how a new film distribution company run by Palestinians is empowering a new generation.
