Let's play soccer Jalla, girls!

Jalla! Jalla! means Let's go in Arabic. And that's what the women in this great short from Annalisa Vozza are doing - playing soccer (or should that be football?) in Bethlehem with the Palestinian team. Vozza has made some powerful films about parts of the world we usually associate with conflict. This award-winning short is the story of Honey and Jackline. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Thank you for sharing! I actually visited Bethlehem University about 4 years ago. Such a beautiful, vibrant, energetic campus with students buzzing all around.

@Catherine - it's a great film, and would mean more to anyone who has lived there I'm sure

Hi Niamh.. thanks for stopping by my blog. I used the site http://gickr.com/ to create the animation. You should try it out!
