Netflix has released a film collection dedicated to sharing Palestinian stories in a move a Palestinian filmmaker is calling “bold.”
The streaming service launched the “Palestinian Stories” collection, featuring 32 award-winning films created by Palestinians or about Palestinian stories, on October 14, the company said in a press release.Ameen Nayfeh, a 33-year-old filmmaker from the West Bank now living in Ramallah, is one of the many directors and writers whose movies have been included in the collection.
“I was very happy, and very surprised to be honest. This was a bold thing to buy 32 titles especially after what happened early this year,” Nayfeh told CNN.
