Palestinians in the West Bank cannot travel more than 10 kilometres without being stopped by Israeli restraictions.
Checkpoints, demands for permits, and the apartheid wall surrounding the occupied territories are all part of the struggle of daily life.
Freedom to Rum is a feature-length documentary that follows the Palestinian running group 'Right to Movement' and a group from Glasgow as they train for and run, both the Palestine and Edinburgh marathons. Whilst in Palestine, the Scottish runners learn about the impact of the restrictions on everyday life, and that something as universal as running is far from an easy task. The runners discover that they are not so different, but that they live very different lives.
The film has been made by Glaswegian filmmakers Dr. Cairsti Russell and Stephen Sheriff. It is inspired Russell's PhD research at the University of Glasgow into media perceptions of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Russell, a member of the University of Glasgow Media Group and who also features as a runner in the documentary, felt compelled to make the film after being confronted with the reality of life in Palestine when she first visited in 2012.
Filmed in Scotland and Palestine in 2018 and 2019, Freedom to Run was completed in 2023, and premiered in Glasgow in October. Since then, the film, which has been supported by Glasgow City Council, has been seen by over 2000 people and 24 sell-out screenings across the UK, Europe and the USA. These screenings have so far raised over £10,000 for Medical Aid for Palestinians and have featured a Q&A with Sheriff and Russell.
Join us on the 4th of July for a screening of the film, with a Q&A from the producers and drinks and networking. A proportion of the tickets will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestine and help facilitate further screenings.
