Palestinian filmmaker facing deportation from Norway after officials claim he is not a director
Norwegian film organizations and unions have banded together in an international call for help from groups outside the country to put pressure on their government. At issue is the case of a Palestinian filmmaker, Mohamed Jabaly, who could be deported Dec. 30.
"I was supposed to be sent away today [Dec. 21] but my lawyer asked for more time to get my documents ready, thank God to the local police they understood," Jabaly told rabble.ca in a Skype interview.
"The problem is I don't have a bachelor's in film. I have one in IT but I am a filmmaker!"
