After years of research and work, I’m happy to share that my film series, The Palestine Laboratory, is now out in the world, broadcast on the global network, Al Jazeera English.
It’s a unique collaboration with the amazing UK film production company, Black Leaf Films, and wonderful director, Dan Davies.

We started working on this project in 2022, even before my book of the same name was released (in May 2023), and it’s been a monumental investigation to uncover the real state of the Israeli arms industry and how it uses the Palestinians as guinea pigs when developing new weapons and surveillance tech.
Part 1 is set in Israel and Palestine and Part 2, airing on 6 February, takes me on a journey around the globe to the US, Mexico, India, South Africa and Greece to reveal how Israeli arms are popping up everywhere.

Part 1 has now been watched at least 100s of thousands of times.
A number of short clips from Part 1 have been posted online:
During my travels for the film in 2024, we traversed seven countries in two months, I took many photos and videos. I’ve started posting them:
