Tell your tale, Little Bird is a documentary about Palestinian women fighters, filmed in 1993. It recounts the experiences of seven Palestinian women involved in the national liberation struggle, including their experience of arrest and imprisonment. These women took part in the military fight of the Palestinian people back in the sixties and seventies. Through their tales, we understand what made these women the symbols of their people’s fight.

“The peculiarity of my film is in a confident, unapologetic and even proud female narrative. A narrative that tells about the history that shaped the dream of the seventies generation, at a time when the currently prevailing documentation schools are trying to obliterate the spirit of this experience. The film confirms the presence of the memory of the resistance and its penetration into the depth of the female self, its spread through oral literature, and its continuation as a political act. The film provided an internal reading of the experience of these women (their feelings, emotional memory, and reasoning).” – A. Lutfi
