How is media used to distort, or suppress, the truth?

Censoring Palestine is a powerful and urgent documentary exploring how mass media, political institutions, and policing tactics work together to silence dissent and hide the reality of ongoing genocide in Palestine.

Through testimony from students, organisers, and campaigners, and featuring commentary from veteran filmmaker Ken Loach, the film exposes how peaceful protest has been criminalised, how social media is censored, and how mainstream news fails to report the truth.

From dawn raids and detentions to the imprisonment of anti-war activists, Censoring Palestine confronts a system determined to shut down solidarity and stifle speech, whether in the streets, on campus, or on stage.

Featuring:✦ Ken Loach✦ Alexei Sayle✦ Jackie Walker✦ Roger Waters✦ Sarah Wilkinson✦ Peter Oborne✦ Ben Jamal✦ Lindsey German… and many more.

This is a call to witness.
