Filmmakers Malek Rasamny and Matt Peterson have begun producing short documentary films about the common struggles between Palestinian refugees and First Nations communities on reservations across the North American continent. In this interview, Rasamny told The Electronic Intifada that it's important to link the struggles together because of the "general historical similarities between the Palestinians and the native peoples here [in the US]."
