Cinema as Resistance – Saeed Taji Farouky #01

In our debut episode, Ewan speaks with award-winning filmmaker Saeed Taji Farouky about the blurred boundaries between journalism and film, the limits of corporate media, and cinema’s role not in persuasion, but in galvanising collective action. Saeed speaks on dismantling colonial frameworks in storytelling, resisting the commodification of trauma, and embracing radical, low-budget, community-led production and distribution. The discussion moves from the suppression of Palestinian protest in the film world to the necessity of building autonomous networks that confront exploitation and power.
