The US streaming giant Netflix launched a collection of 32 award-winning movies and documentaries produced by Palestinian filmmakers on Oct. 14. Palestinians praised the move for introducing global audiences to the Palestinian-made drama and the Palestinian narrative of the conflict with Israel.
The move comes as Israeli drama series on Netflix have gained much popularity. The Israeli series “Fauda,” “Our Boys,” and “Shtisel,” were featured among the 30 best international TV shows of the decade between 2010 and 2020 according to the New York Times. Another drama series, “Be’Tipul,” is also hitting airwaves globally.
