22 minutes that'll wreck your composure and rebuild your hope.
A documentary on the historic first-ever visit of a Palestinian National team to Europe, following the Palestinian women's team as they arrive in Ireland to a heroes' welcome and play a solidarity friendly against Bohemian FC on May 15th, 2024. The sold-out match marked the 76th anniversary of the Nakba and highlighted the ongoing genocide and human rights violations happening every day in occupied Palestine. It was one of the most emotional and important games ever held at Dalymount Park in its long and storied history since 1901, and the event raised over €100,000 for three Palestinian humanitarian organizations.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

The phrase 'Saoirse don Phalaistín' ('Freedom for Palestine' in Irish) connects two anti-colonial struggles explicitly—Irish republican history directly mirrored with Palestinian liberation.
