English Script:
These celebrities are using poetry to make sure the world doesn’t forget about Palestine and Sudan.
Mark Ruffalo: Oh Sudan, oh Palestine.
Ahmed Malek: If I must die, you must live to tell my story.
Anok Yai, Kehlani and Brendan Yates read poems by Palestinian poets killed by Israel, including Omar Fares Abu Shawish, Hiba Abu Nada and Refaat Alareer.
Rosalia and Jeremy Allen White read poetry by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish.
Rosalia: I am from there. I am from here.
Jeremy Allen White: I am not there and I am not here. I have two names which meet and part, and I have two languages. I forget which of them I dream in.
Bill Skarsgard read “Dig No Grave For Me” by Sudanese poet Mohammad al-Fayturi.
Bill Skarsgard: Dig no grave for me, I shall lie in every inch of the earth, I shall lie like water on the Nile’s body.
Palestinians in Gaza continue to live through an Israeli genocide that has destroyed nearly the entire Gaza Strip, despite a ceasefire agreement.
Millions in Sudan are also facing genocide, siege and starvation in the war that started in 2023, in what’s been described as the world’s largest humanitarian crisis by the UN and aid groups.
