“A Day in the Life Of Abed Salama” tells the story of Israel’s occupation of Palestine through one family’s tragedy.
Nathan Thrall tells the story of the death of Milad Salama in occupied territory in 2012 to illuminate one lesson: Palestinian lives are all but disposable in the Zionist vision of settling the land.
