FRSO General Meeting: Tell Your Tale Little Bird Film Screening

ALL INVITED – Please join us Sunday, November 23rd at 1PM at the San Jose Peace and Justice Center as we show the film “Tell your Tale, Little Bird” featuring the interviews of 7 Palestinian women discussing their role in the resistance!

Documentary, 1h 30m

Seven militant women (fedaiyat) of the revolutionary generation tell the story of the Palestinian resistance through accounts of their own lives.

Cut from 35 hours of interviews with leaders of the armed struggle, the film presents an image of confident, unapologetic and proud feminine identity. Together, the memories of these women narrate the dream of a generation, yet unrealized.

Tell Your Tale, Little Bird is a testament to the power of remembrance, positioning memory as an essential element of feminist struggle. The film reminds us that this oral tradition may carry recollection of past resistance, but it is in the very practice of retelling women’s stories that the political act has persisted.
