Description

Painting Resistance is a short documentary that explores the life, work, and motivation of the San Francisco- based muralist, Chris Gazaleh. Created over the course of twelve weeks by eight youth filmmakers, Painting Resistance is a vibrant visual tapestry that reflects the lived experience of an artist in diaspora after the 1948 forced removal of his ancestors from their homeland, Palestine. A timely and relevant piece, this documentary underscores the importance of depicting life and resilience through art, and the humanity that bridges us together.
