From Wounded Knee to Gaza

Opening text

Scottish Labour History Society member and artist Brian Vallely's paintings connecting the massacre of Native Americans at Wounded Knee in 1890 with the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza are the subject of this documentary by film maker and producer Antaine O Donnaile. The film shows Brian at work on the paintings and musing on the links between the massacres across time and place and the inspiration for his images.

Thanks to Brian for sharing this moving and meditative film, which we felt fellow members would appreciate. You can view it using the link below (no login required); unfortunately the website will not currently allow the embedding of Vimeo video content:
