Palestine 36

1936. As villages across Mandatory Palestine

rise against British colonial rule, Yusuf drifts

between his rural home and the restless

energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future

beyond the growing unrest. But history is

relentless. With rising numbers of Jewish

immigrants escaping antisemitism in Europe,

and the Palestinian population uniting in the

largest and longest uprising against Britain’s

30-year dominion, all sides spiral towards

inevitable collision in a decisive moment for

the British Empire and the future of the entire

region.
