At the start of the pandemic, London-based Palestinian actor, filmmaker and music producer Mo'min Swaitat discovered 10,000 tapes in the West Bank while in lockdown there – music that documented a moment in Palestinian history that hadn't been heard for 30 years. He spent eight months listening to the tapes, making it his mission to digitise and re-release this window into the past. One of the tapes he found was "The Intifada 1987”, an album by Riad Awwad. Mo'min tells Eve Jackson why the discovery is so important to Palestinians.
They also talk about the variety of Palestinian voices telling their stories on the world's cultural landscape, as Abdallah Al-Khatib's documentary "Little Palestine (Diary of a Siege)" about the people of the Yarmouk camp in the Syrian capital Damascus is shown around the world.
Plus, Hamas's TV studios in Gaza begin filming pro-resistance series "Fist of the Free"; we take a closer look.
