During the event, Kuumba Kaffee will also be open, so curious passers-by are welcome to pop in and get a taste of the atmosphere. Welcome from 2pm to 5pm.

Internationaal Comité (IC) and Kuumba vzw are participating in PCD (Palestine Cinema Days) Around The World and will be screening Mohammad Bakri's documentary film Jenin, Jenin (2003). 

Programme
18:00 – Kuumba Kaffee opens 
19:00 - 20:00 – Film screening: “Jenin, Jenin” — Mohammad Bakri — 54′ [Subs: En]
20:30 – End of the evening 

Synopsis
In 2002, during Israel’s invasion of Jenin refugee camp, journalists were barred and war crime accusations emerged. Filmmaker Mohammad Bakri entered to record residents’ testimonies, giving voice to those silenced. The film was banned, sparking legal battles and accusations from soldiers. Years later, Israel’s Supreme Court overturned the ban, restoring this raw account of a community under siege.

About PCD Around The World
As international news outlets, world leaders, and major social media platforms continue to censor and distort the narrative while fueling the dehumanization of Palestinians and their ongoing suffering, we are using our channels to support the forcibly canceled Palestine Cinema Days Festival.

On November 2, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, we are organizing over 500 Palestinian film screenings around the world. This global effort is a show of solidarity with Palestine, an act of amplification for censored Palestinian voices, and a contribution to shifting the distorted narrative.

We warmly invite you to an evening full of fun, dancing, delicious food, and solidarity. This event aims to support the many refugees in Congo. You’re welcome to join us anytime between 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Organised by VZW JUWA YETU.
