A short news documentary I scripted, produced, and edited for The New Arab on Germany's crackdown of pro-Palestine solidarity and the historical reasons for its pro-Israel support, dating back to its own history of antisemitism. The short film was made well before October 7, after which Germany's crackdown intensified and hit the mainstream. In 2023, this short doc was awarded Best Video at the WAN-IFRA Digital Media Awards Middle East.
