Made over the course of 5 years, the documentary film gains intimate access to the family of imprisoned Palestinian political leader, Marwan Barghouthi. Often described as the ‘Palestinian Nelson Mandela,’ Barghouthi is serving five life sentences in an Israeli prison. Through a collage of in-depth interviews from the people who know him best, including lawyers, his sons and his wife Fadwa, the immersive documentary is an unflinchingly honest and transformative journey into the saga of Palestinian prisoners, their loved ones, and political representation of Palestinians under ongoing occupation.
Accessibility: Wheelchair accessible with assistive mobility devices at the rear of Town Hall. The theatre has power-assisted doors for full access. Assistive-listening devices are also available by request. An accessible gender-neutral washroom is located on the third floor.

Mayworks Festival of Working People & the Arts annually presents new works by a diverse range of artists, who are both workers and activists. We prioritize the participation of artists and audiences from communities facing systemic discrimination. Our programming offers bold, insightful, responses to pressing issues at the intersection of art, social justice and labour. We are actively engaged in a social dialogue that challenges the logics of capitalism, and seeks to reimagine and represent a just future. Explore the 2024 Mayworks Festival calendar.
