“We act not because we are hopeful, but because it is the right thing to do. We act because we have been inspired by our Palestinian friends and because of all that we have learnt from them.” Amos Director Chris Rose writes about the 70th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba — or ‘catastrophe’.

"This year marks the seventieth anniversary of the Nakba. It is a sentence that a lot of people will read over the coming months and may choose not to delve too deeply into." Loosely based on a real-life character still living in Gaza, 'The Shroud Maker' is a dark new satire, telling one woman’s story of survival.

Gaza is smaller than the Isle of Wight - 25 miles long by only 5 miles wide but with an astonishing 1.8 million people living there. It makes it one of the most densely populated places on the planet. Lindsey Sharpe picks up the story.
