Green Revolutions: Jumana Manna
What connects agricultural reform, biodiversity, and political upheaval in Lebanon and Syria? In her poetic documentary Wild Relatives (2018) Jumana Manna takes us from a seedbank in Aleppo to Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. The evening opens with her most recent short Journeys to the Ends of Shu’fat (2020). With an introduction by Christian Henderson.
