The next event by Frome Friends of Palestine is a screening of The Phoenix of Gaza.
Directed by Yousef Al-Helou, the 50-minute film captures the beauty and resilience of Gaza’s residents before its destruction.
Organisers say, “Shot in July 2023, it serves as an archive of Gaza’s cultural, social and recreational life, showcasing ordinary moments like children playing and families enjoying the beach. The film, which premiered in London in February 2025, highlights the impact of the ongoing conflict on the community in Gaza.”
The film will be shown at 7pm on Tuesday 9th December at Trinity Hall, Trinity Street, Frome BA11 3DE. A Middle Eastern themed buffet will be served at 6.30pm.
Following the screening there will be a Q&A with the director. Admission is £10, payable on the door.
