Besieged: Home is the first chapter in our special series on the spatial politics of settler colonialism in Palestine, which features films to raise funds for aid groups in Gaza and Cairo.

As part of Peterson and Rasamny’s ongoing project The Native and the Refugee, this documentary examines life in Palestine refugee camps in the West Bank and Lebanon and in Native American reservations across the US. The film is narrated entirely by the residents of the camps and reservations, immersing us in their homes and neighborhoods. As we see in the film, these spaces serve as vital cradles of resistance against the ongoing settler regimes of genocide, displacement, and occupation.
