Come join us for a special screening of the film Mayor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology hosted by the Aga Khan Dociumentaion Center in collaboration with the Center For Arabic Culture in Boston.

Documentary Title: Mayor
Directed by: David Osit
Film Website: https://www.mayorfilm.com/

About the Film:
Mayor follows Musa Hadid, the Christian mayor of Ramallah, during his second term in office. His immediate goals: repave the sidewalks, attract more tourism, and plan the city’s Christmas celebrations. His ultimate mission: to end the occupation of Palestine. Rich with detailed observation and humor, Mayor offers a portrait of dignity amidst the madness and absurdity of endless occupation, while posing a central question: How do you run a city when you don’t have a country?

Following the screening, we invite you to engage in a thoughtful discussion (details of the speaker will be announced soon), enriching our collective understanding of the film's themes and insights.
