A conversation with Mustafa Sheta, Director General of the Freedom Theater.

Jerusalem24 – Mustafa Sheta joins us on the opening day of the annual Cultural Resistance Festival of the famed Freedom Theater in Jenin for a look at this year’s highlights.

He offers us a glimpse of a fascinating backstory of an institution whose own history is deeply intertwined with that of Jenin. As the festival kicks off during yet another wave of military raids and assaults on the city, Mustafa tells us about the annual festival’s mission within Jenin and beyond, as well as the theater’s enduring relationship with the community it both supports and is supported by.
