Women in Struggle: Manal Tamimi - Nabi Saleh

http://nuralagatta.wordpress.com Women in Palestine are planting seeds of resistance In Nabi Saleh women have a fundamental role in the popular struggle against the Israeli occupation. They are the driving force of the nonviolent movement. Every Friday, while chanting slogans and proudly holding palestinian flags, they daringly lead the march towards the confiscated land and challenge the soldiers. During my six months stay in Nabi Saleh I decided to interview 4 generations of women belonging to the village and active in the struggle. What I was really interested in, was to understand the effects of the Israeli occupation on women and why - differently from other villages - they feel they duty to react to gender constructions which impose passivity. The outcome of these video interviews depict strong resistant women who are aware that full liberation can't be reached without women's engagement in the struggle. The political engagement of these women is visible not only from their statements, it’s a flowing force that pervades their gestures and behaviours. It’s so powerful that it hits right in the guts, shaking up one’s consciousness.
