Running for Freedom - A week of resistance in Palestine (2023)
• December 13th, 2023 • 1h 1min
Documentary
Overview
When the running team of Viva Salud, a Belgian NGO fighting for the right to health, went to Bethlehem to participate in the Palestine Marathon, they didn’t yet know that they would do much more than just running. From Ramallah to Hebron, from Nablus to Bethlehem, their encounters with Viva Salud’s local partners helped them gain a better understanding of the situation in the region and discover the daily reality of the Israeli occupation. While getting to know resistance in all its forms, along with the beauty of Palestine, they tried to capture this in a documentary vlog of their journey—a cocktail of rebellion, solidarity, and collective resistance.
