In this hard-hitting debut documentary, Lebanese Australian lawyer Nicholas Hanna explores these questions and the crucial context of the Israel-Palestine conflict that is largely ignored by the mainstream media. The Last Sky focuses on the highly relevant yet largely overlooked perspective of the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, who share their insights with refreshing candour and clarity. Filmed in Lebanon and Occupied Palestine, The Last Sky is a must-see documentary for anyone interested in understanding the Gaza genocide and the escalating conflict in the region. After the screening there is a Q&A with one of the producers, Rihab Charida.

Rihab Charida is a Palestinian media producer and filmmaker based in Beirut. She is the daughter of Palestinian refugees who were expelled from their village Safsaf when it was invaded during the olive harvest of 1948. For the last 20 years, she has worked in the Middle East with various international news networks, including AlJazeera, BBC and SBS.

Programme seriesJustice for Palestine

The Justice for Palestine series will focus upon the broader historic- and present-day context of colonisation, apartheid and military occupation that preceded the horrific October 7th attacks and the relentless bombardments of the Gaza strip that followed. By starting these dialogues, we aim to focus on envisioning sustainable solutions for justice, equality and peace in Historic Palestine for all people who are living there.
