Filmmaker Jabaly: Gaza and Jabaly

filmmaker jabaly: I was supposed to be sent away today Dec. 21 but my lawyer asked for more time to get my documents ready, thank God to the local police they understood, Jabaly told rabble.ca in a Skype interview, according to Rabble. The problem is I don't have a bachelor's in film. At issue is the case of a Palestinian filmmaker, Mohamed Jabaly, who could be deported Dec. 30. I have one in IT but I am a filmmaker! Jabaly arrived in northern Norway near the end of 2014 as part of a youth exchange between the northern city of Troms and Gaza -- which are twinned sister cities. He's never been a refugee, points out Norwegian producer John Arvid Berger. He was brought in to discuss life in Gaza but he also had footage from the last war in Gaza in the summer of 2014.
