Show notes

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Mo'men Ghanim, a Palestinian filmmaker, photographer, and activist whose work beautifully intertwines art and advocacy. Mo'men shares his journey from civil engineering to storytelling, fueled by a deep sense of duty to preserve and share Palestinian culture.

We discuss his recent art exhibition in Qatar, which showcases Palestinian heritage through photography, and his acclaimed documentary Shahroor, a heartfelt story of resilience and hope. Mo'men opens up about the challenges of documenting stories under occupation, the importance of humanizing narratives, and how social media can be a powerful tool for cultural preservation and advocacy.

Through this conversation, we explore the power of art to heal, connect, and inspire action. Mo'men’s unwavering dedication to his craft and his people is both a call to action and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

Tune in for an inspiring discussion that delves into the intersection of art, activism, and identity—and what it means to create with purpose in the face of adversity.
