This week, John Young and Johayna Marlow of the Middle
East Radio Project are joined in the studio by Dr. Jess
Ghannam for an exclusive, in-depth interview. Based
in San Francisco, Jess Ghannam is a psychoanalyst,
human rights activist, and documentary filmmaker. He
has been working on describing the psychological
effects of torture, occupation, and war in Palestine.

Palestinians in Dheisheh Refugee Camp near Bethlehem.

feature excerpts from this new film and its original
soundtrack, and in which Professor Ghannam talks about

the significance of the film and its themes in the
Palestinian struggle for justice. Thanks to the
