Colors of Resistance is a personal journey aiming to question the concept of belonging to a place.
In this journey, director Areeb Zuaiter sneaks into the worlds of a painter, a comedian, a poet, a hip-hop artist, and a solo singer to explore their tools to express their identities and belonging to Palestine — the same land that is being denied its right to exist.
