SUMMARY:Film Screening - The Dupes
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us for the screening of 1973 Syrian drama film based on 
 Ghassan Kanafani’s novella Men in the Sun.\n\n\n\n\nSet in the 1950s\, 
 The Dupes traces the destinies of three different men brought together by
  their dispossession\, their despair and their hope for a better future. T
 he protagonists are Palestinian refugees who are trying to make their way 
 across the border from Iraq into Kuwait\, the 'Promised Land\,' concealed 
 in the steel tank of a truck. Representing different dimensions of the Pal
 estinian experience\, each one believes he can make a new life for himself
 .\n\nOne of the first Arab films to address the Palestinian question\, 'Th
 e Dupes' is based on the 1962 novella 'Men in the Sun' by assassinated Pal
 estinian writer\, artist and resistance leader\, Ghassan Kanafani. Set in 
 Palestine and Iraq\, and filmed in Syria by Tewfik Saleh\, an Egyptian dir
 ector\, the film was banned in several Arab countries due to its implied c
 riticisms of Arab governments.\n\nRun time: 1 hour 46 minutes\n\nScreening
  will be followed by a short informal discussion.\n\nWe want our events to
  be accessible to all but if you can\, please register using the suggested
  donation option.\n\n\n
