As a part of the La La Lil Jidar: 20 Years Behind the Apartheid Wall programming, InLiquid invites you to join us on Thursday, October 5th, in the InLiquid Gallery for a screening of Walled Citizen, directed and produced by Palestinian filmmaker Sameer Qumsiyeh.
Walled Citizen documents Sameer Qumsiyeh as he attempts to explore the planet as a backpacker defying the restrictions of movement imposed on him as a holder of one of the world’s weakest ranking passports. Over the period of 3 years, Sameer Qumsiyeh travels with his personal camera from Palestine to Europe, the Canary Islands, and the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador ,. Qumsiyeh documents his encounters with other freedom seekers, wanderers, refugees, immigrants, indigenous communities and nomads, all of whom are facing the physical and non-physical walls that are erected between people in our modern time.
