Frank Barat on Documenting Israeli War Crimes & Building Palestine Solidarity at Wembley | Ep 63

“For six years, he documented Israeli war crimes when most institutions refused to look. Then, in the middle of a genocide the world claimed was ‘too complicated,’ he helped organise something many said was impossible—a sold-out Wembley Arena concert, 12,500 people strong, raising £1.5 million for Palestine.”In Episode 63 of The Enlightenment Podcast, Hanan and Shamim are joined by Frank Barat — documentary filmmaker, activist, organiser, and one of the most important behind-the-scenes figures in the global Palestine solidarity movement.Frank spent six years documenting Israeli war crimes through the Russell Tribunal on Palestine, helping to build one of the most comprehensive people’s archives of international law violations. He has edited landmark books with Noam Chomsky, Angela Davis, and many others, preserving testimony and analysis that mainstream institutions worked hard to suppress.Just three months ago, Frank helped pull off what many believed could never happen: a sold-out Wembley Arena benefit concert for Palestine, featuring major artists and raising £1.5 million for Palestinian relief—proving that culture, when mobilised with integrity, remains one of the most powerful tools of resistance.Frank is also Executive Producer on Annemarie Jacir’s acclaimed new film Palestine 36, which recently premiered to standing ovations and is a must-see on the big screen.This episode is about movement-building, cultural resistance, and what it really means to stand with Palestine when it matters most.Frank Barat’s Works:On Palestine → https://bit.ly/3MwCT0Y Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement → https://bit.ly/3KTYm3p Other Mentioned Books and Films:Understanding Power: The Indispensible Chomsky → https://bit.ly/3KsfZHzPalestine 36 → https://www.watermelonpictures.com/films/palestine-36The Voice of Hind Rajab → https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36943034/All That’s Left of You → https://www.watermelonpictures.com/films/all-thats-left-of-you The Enlightenment Podcast Social Media:feedlinks.link/enlightenmentpodcast#TheEnlightenmentPodcast #FrankBarat #Palestine36 #RussellTribunal #CulturalResistance #ArtistsForPalestine #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine #EndTheOccupation #SolidarityInAction #StopTheGenocide #IsraelPalestine #AntiColonialism #TruthToPower #BDS
