Q & A with Jackie Salloum, Director of Slingshot Hip-Hop pt. 1 of 4

Slingshot Hip Hop braids together the stories of young Palestinians living in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank as they discover Hip Hop and employ it as a tool to surmount divisions imposed by occupation and poverty. From internal checkpoints and Separation Walls to gender norms and generational differences, this is the story of young people crossing the borders that separate them.

This showing took place on 15 July 2009.

It was sponsored by the Jerusalem Fund and the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University.

This is a Q&A with Director Jackie Reem Salloum and Hip Hop Artist Sabrina Da Witch (Abeer Alzinaty), who was featured in the film, after the screening.
