Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed over the past two years during the Israeli ground operations and invasion of the Gaza war; the United Nations estimates it might take 15 years just to fully clear out all the rubble from the destruction. Now is not the time to avert one’s gaze from the war-torn region. With that in mind, The Inland Northwest Coalition for the Liberation of Palestine once again hosts a slate of documentaries to bring the Palestinian plight to the big screen. “The Endless Nakba: A Palestine Film Series” runs one day a month through May, offering free screenings at the Magic Lantern. The series kicks off in partnership with Asians for Collective Liberation in Spokane with one of 2024’s most acclaimed films and the heavy favorite to win Best Documentary at this year’s Oscars, No Other Land. The doc chronicles Israeli military evicting Palestinians on the West Bank from their homes in order to create military firing zones and an unlikely friendship between a Palestinian activist and an Israeli journalist. The series continues with The First 54 Years (March 16), The Night Won’t End (April 13) and Atrocity, Inc (May 18).
