Description:

For Palestinians attending school or university, simple activities that Canadians take for granted — going to classes, returning home from school, or organizing a graduation ceremony — have become immense challenges under Israel’s 36-year occupation.  "A Caged Bird's Song" offers a powerful glimpse into education and daily life in an occupied land, as told by students and faculty at Bir Zeit University in Ramallah.
