Description

This presentation takes a deep dive into Marcel Khalife's popular song 'Rita and the Rifle' which was inspired by poet Mahmoud Darwish. The story behind the poem has a more deep significant meaning than it might appear to have on the surface; as it is based on a forbidden love story between Mahmoud and a Jewish woman.
