Hamde Abu Rahman is an award winning Palestinian photojournalist, activist and journalist and author of the photo book 'Roots Run Deep - Life in Occupied Palestine, a beautiful gem of a book, in which the photographer tells us ' left my work and studies to move back to the West Bank to help my people and document the truth about our struggle against the illegal occupation of our land.' The book is dedicated to his cousin Bassem who was shot and killed by Israeli occupation forces during one of the weekly demonstrations at Bi'lin caprured so brilliantly in the Oscar-nominated film Five Broken Cameras.
The book has been published privately, but I hope that it gets to be seen by as many people as possible, Hamde uses his photography powerfully to express what is going on under occupation, with beauty and insight, creativity, allowing us to witness the steadfastness of Palestinians living in the West Bank. A truly powerful and moving book.
