"At a time when documentary films on Palestine and the occupation are gaining surprising new prominence (with two such films recently nominated for Academy Awards), MARTIN LUTHER KING IN PALESTINE is utterly unique. It shows artists meeting across worlds; it refracts the fierce and appalling political situation through the lenses of theater; it weaves together threads of suffering and courage, political activism and artistic creation; it creates revelatory conversations between African Americans and Palestinians. MARTIN LUTHER KING IN PALESTINE shows the power of art and is, in itself, a work of art." -Dr. Linda Hess, Religious Studies, Stanford University |
