About the film

“Seeds for Liberation” explores Palestinian resistance through emotional and impactful interviews with historians, activists, legal scholars, and experts. The documentary demonstrates how social media has exposed daily life in Gaza and the West Bank, challenging dominant Western narratives and bringing the Free Palestine movement into global consciousness. Featuring some of the biggest names in the movement, including human rights attorney Dr. Noura Erakat, investigative journalist Abby Martin, justice journalist Chuck Modiano, emergency medicine physician Dr. Mimi Syed, and members of the Black Liberation Army, La Raza Unida, and Stop Cop City — the film spans decades of solidarity and shows how the fight for collective liberation is interconnected. Seeds for Liberation is a call to action, encouraging audiences to mobilize and join the fight for humanity. Free Palestine, Free Us All.
