What are the chal­lenges jour­na­lists face when cove­ring incre­asing­ly chal­len­ging glo­bal cri­sis of war, civil dis­o­be­dience, fami­ne and hun­ger? Witnessing acts of govern­ment crack­down and inju­s­ti­ce, should they remain objec­ti­ve? What are their choices when the govern­ment turns against them? 

„Rather be Ashes than Dust” is a first per­son docu­men­ta­ry chro­nicling a jour­na­list-film­ma­ker’s strugg­le with his con­sci­ence while wit­nessing inten­se poli­ce bru­ta­li­ty against pro­tes­ters during the 2019 move­ment in Hong Kong. In 2020, a year into the pro­test move­ment, China impo­sed the National Security Law on Hong Kong, taking away its judi­cial inde­pen­dence and the many free­doms pro­mi­sed by the Joint Declaration, inclu­ding the free­dom of expres­si­on. Many jour­na­lists had to deci­de: do I shut up, go to pri­son, or lea­ve? Using the Hong Kong pro­test move­ment in 2019 as a back­drop, this film will fol­low a video jour­na­lis­t’s four-years jour­ney to find the ans­wers to the­se questions.

A film by Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor. In Arabic, Hebrew and English with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Basel Adra, a young Palestinian acti­vist from Masafer Yatta on the West Bank, has been fight­ing the mass expul­si­on of his com­mu­ni­ty by Israel’s occu­pa­ti­on sin­ce child­hood. He docu­ments the slow-moti­on era­di­ca­ti­on of the vil­la­ges in his home regi­on whe­re sol­diers deploy­ed by the Israeli govern­ment are gra­du­al­ly demo­li­shing hou­ses and dri­ving out their resi­dents. At some point, he meets Yuval, an Israeli jour­na­list, who sup­ports him in his efforts. An unli­kely alli­ance deve­lo­ps. But the rela­ti­onship bet­ween the two is strai­ned by the enorm­ous ine­qua­li­ty bet­ween them: Basel lives under mili­ta­ry occu­pa­ti­on while Yuval lives free­ly and wit­hout rest­ric­tions.
This film by a Palestinian-Israeli coll­ec­ti­ve of four young acti­vists has been made as an act of crea­ti­ve resis­tance on the path to grea­ter justice.
