beautiful resistanceuses audience participation, improvisation, live music, as well as photos and videos shot in the West Bank, to give a new and personal perspective on the complicated issue of Israel’s occupation of Palestine. During beautiful resistance, we meet Skipper, a moon-walking Hamas fighter, and Fayrouz, a boy-crazy college girl living in the volatile world of Balata Refugee Camp. Their stories, and others, are told from the perspective of the narrator, a young St. Louisan who had never left the United States, nor considered herself an activist, prior to her trip to Palestine. beautiful resistance contains moderate violence and strong language; viewing is not recommended for children under the age of 12.
