Ahmad Alive
Seen Palestine, in partnership withthe Islamic Scholarship Fund (ISF), is hosting a screening ofAhmad Alivein Oakland on Monday, October 28 at 7:30 pm! The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the producers.
The film was recorded entirely on a phone after October 7 by a Palestinian vlogger turned war correspondent. It sold out at screenings in the Middle East and Europe. This is the first America-wide tour!
The story follows Ahmad Ghunaim, a young man whose home is bombed by Israeli missiles. He becomes homeless with his family, struggling to find safety, food, and water. We see him burning books to bake bread. Yet he keeps filming on his phone, starting each video with: Hi, its Ahmad, Im alive. Ahmads story is one of both devastation and hope.
All proceeds support filmmakers in Gaza! The genocide in Palestine is horrific. Films can educate millions of Americans about the reality on the ground.
Date:Monday, October 28 at 7:30 pm
Location:ICCNC - 1433 Madison St, Oakland, CA
