My Take
Mohammad Bakri moves me deeply. As a Palestinian artist holding Israeli citizenship, he spent his life using theatre and film to give voice to people history often silenced, and he is rightly regarded as a giant of Palestinian cinema. Trained at Tel Aviv University, he worked as actor, director and screenwriter, earning a Palestine Appreciation Award in 2023. Learning that he passed away at the end of 2025 left me genuinely saddened. Holding fast to artistic truth amid relentless political pressure takes extraordinary courage, and I will always respect the integrity of how he lived. His was a life of remarkable conviction and grace.
