Jocelyne Saab’s word…

“In 1973, I direct Palestinian Women for Antenne 2. I wanted to show these women, the Palestinian combatants in Syria, at a tume when there were so few so few images of them. This is just before Sadaat’s visit to Israel – the situation is very tense. While I’m editing the film on the premises of Antenne 2, Paul Nahon, then head of the Foreign Editorial Departement, grabs me by the collar and takes me out of the editing room. Palestinian Women remains unfinished and is never shown on television.
