What are your best recommendations of movies from for example Palestine? Or just generally outside the imperial core? Ones with English subtitles available.

I am finding some with search engines like a title called Lemon tree, but would prefer those who know better to point me towards some. Also interested in documentaries, watched the Mayor not long ago and it was great.

    It’s not about Palestine, and made by a Western director, but it might still be what you’re looking for:

    The Act of Killing, (CW reenacted violence) a documentary in which the perpetrators of the 1965-7 anticommunist genocide in Indonesia were asked to make a propaganda movie demonstrating how they did it, not realizing the documentary would instead show their depravity and evil.

    This documentary was devastating for me, both personally and on a human level, not to mention what it means for the safety of leftists. It’s not entertaining by any means though, it’s a heavy one.
