Right to Movement Palestine
Manage episode 285571166 series 2830217
The motto of this social running group in Palestine is "We run to tell a different story". The group started in 2012 when Palestinians tried to organize a marathon in the city of Bethlehem but they could not find a stretch of 42 kilometers without being limited by the Israeli segregation wall, the settlements, checkpoints and Israeli bypass roads that circle around the Palestinian city. The Palestinian organizers were once again confronted with the limitations in movement caused by the Israeli restrictions. This resulted in an initiative or a movement that quickly spread among young Palestinians throughout the Westbank, Gaza, Jerusalem and other Palestinian cities in Israel.
In this episode George Zeidan, one of the founders and motors behind the Right to Movement explains how they are trying to raise awareness about their right to movement, but also how they encourage Palestinians to run, especially women. This episode also includes soundbites and short interviews with runners after one of their early morning runs in Bethlehem.
