Algila with Daz - November 6, 2010
An exciting new, online platform called Narrating Gaza, sets out to collect and showcase personal anecdotes, arts and commentary about day-to-day life in Gaza. The Al Qattan Foundation's Mahmoud Hashash, one of the project's producers, joins us on the show to tell us all about it.
Plus, in a place where for the last 62 years at least, magic and miracles have seemed so very far away, we find out how a local Bethlehem man came to be one of the Arab world's most celebrated illusionists.
Featuring music by MIA, Elvis Presley, The Breeders, Black Heart Procession, Karen Dalton, Jesus and Mary Chain, Iggy Pop, Shirley Ellis and Tunng.
