May 15, 1948, is the date of the founding of the State of Israel on more than half of the territory of historic Palestine, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. But for Palestinians, that day means NAKBA - catastrophe: the forced expulsion, through the use of violence and weapons, of over 800,000 people, the destruction of 600 villages and homes in the cities of Haifa, Jaffa, and others. This film aims to commemorate this date and the ongoing Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories, which continues to this day. All this in disregard of the plan to partition Palestine into two states, one Arab and one Jewish, voted by the United Nations in 1947. A great injustice that has now lasted for 72 years.
