Macklemore Wraps Up Free Palestine Tour in London: “It Was More Uncomfortable for Me to Stay Silent”

Macklemore brought the final night of his Free Palestine Tour to London on Friday, telling a U.K. audience: “I don’t believe that staying silent is brave.” The sold-out event at the capital’s Ovo Arena Wembley boasted a crowd of over 12,500 people, who cheered and screamed as the U.S. rapper spoke. The gigs come weeks after he was removed from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour for expressing his pro-Palestine views on stage. Sheeran later said it was a promoter decision to drop Macklemore, and that venues set to host the concerts threatened to pull out if Macklemore was on the bill. In response, Macklemore launched his own benefit concert with acts in the British capital such as Aja Monet, Cure for Paranoia, Dana Saleh, Nemahsis, Lucas Jones, Paloma Faith, Roze, Shadia Mansour and Vic Mensa. Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was among the guest speakers, along with Hollywood superstars Mark Ruffalo,

Ed Sheeran recruits new support acts for his tour following Macklemore’s controversial departure over his comments on Palestine

Ed Sheeran adds Isaac Slade and Brooks Rosser to his tour line-up following the controversy sparked by Macklemore’s departure. Ed Sheeran is beginning to rebuild the line-up for his ‘Loop Tour’ after several weeks of controversy that left the British singer without many of his support acts and even some members of his band. He has now recruited Isaac Slade, former frontman of The Fray, and Brooks Rosser, a former ‘American Idol’ contestant, following the removal of Macklemore from the tour after his public statements in support of Palestine. Slade had already joined Sheeran for his concert in Atlanta on 3 October and was subsequently confirmed for several US dates: Indianapolis on 10 October,

Greta Thunberg Makes Surprise Appearance at Zurich Premiere of ‘My Home of Wind and Sand,’ Denounces Occupation of Western Sahara

Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance on Tuesday at Zurich Film Festival, where she joined the screening of a new documentary “My Home of Wind and Sand,” which looks at the occupation of Western Sahara by Morocco. Calling the film “powerful” and able to “create change,” Thunberg minced no words when speaking about the world’s attitude toward the region. “There’s this extreme hypocrisy that makes me so, so angry and upset,” she said. “For me, this movie was so much about betrayal. There are so many levels of betrayal. First, there’s the occupation and the violence itself that somehow becomes ‘normal’ or is viewed as normal. It’s not easy to get any media attention and clicks, which is another betrayal,” she said. Then there’s “the betrayal of the international solidarity movement.” Western Sahara has been occupied by Morocco since 1975. It is often referred to as

Greta Thunberg Hits the Zurich Film Festival — and Issues a Rallying Cry

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has thrown her weight behind the Zurich-premiering My Home of Wind and Sand, an important and affecting documentary following a young woman’s fight for her community’s independence. From Austrian filmmaker Patrick Wally, who shot the feature over a 10-year period, My Home of Wind and Sand is a portrait of Sahrawi activist Najla Mohamed Lamin. She was born and raised in the refugee camps near Tindouf, Algeria, and has devoted her adult life to campaigning for Western Sahara’s liberation from Moroccan sovereignty. We follow Lamin from her studies in the U.S. to representing the Sahrawi people at the United Nations, where she argues for peaceful resistance as a generation born in exile (Spain withdrew its occupation of the region in 1975) grows older and angrier without resolution. When armed conflict resumes after decades of ceasefire, the convictions that have shaped Najla’s public life are tested.

Filmmaker Patrick Wally spent eleven years following Lamin, who was born in a Sahrawi refugee camp in Algeria. She campaigns peacefully for women’s rights, human rights and climate action, and for the right of Western Sahara to determine its own future. Wally shapes the film through conversations with her and gradually steps into the frame himself. Its synopsis says it refuses to shrink her into a symbol of a geopolitical conflict.

Lightdox Acquires Rights To ‘My Home Of Wind And Sand’ Before Zurich Film Festival World Premiere

Exclusive: Lightdox has acquired world sales rights to the documentary My Home of Wind and Sand ahead of its world premiere Tuesday at the Zurich Film Festival. Filmmaker Patrick Wally spent over a decade on his film, a portrait of women’s rights, human rights and climate activist Najla Mohamed Lamin, who was born in a Sahrawi refugee camp in Algeria. Lamin has led a peaceful campaign supporting the right of Western Sahara to self-determination, a dream of Sahrawi refugees that has been frustrated for more than half a century. Nobel Peace Prize nominee Greta Thunberg is expected to attend Tuesday’s world premiere and will participate in a conversation afterwards with Lamin. Thunberg visited the Sahrawi refugee camps last year, where she and Lamin conducted a workshop on climate change.
