Film: LEILA KHALED, HIJACKER

In 1969, Leila Khaled, a 24-year-old Palestinian, made headlines as the first woman to hijack an airplane.

Despite reports of Khaled's death some years ago, filmmaker Lina Makboul found the former Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine militant living openly in Jordan, where she remains politically active and unrepentant.

LEILA KHALED, HIJACKER provocatively posits whether one person's terrorist can be another's freedom fighter.

Support the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)

---

Solidarity t-shirts are on sale to raise funds for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. All profits from the t-shirts go to the PFLP.

The PFLP is a secular socialist movement for the liberation of Palestine. It’s the second-largest component of the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organisation). Unlike Fatah, the largest group in the PLO, the PFLP doesn’t receive funds from western governments to sell out the struggle; unlike the Islamist groups, it doesn’t get funding from right-wing Arab regimes to promote an Islamic republic in place of the existing state of Israel. Instead, the PFLP fights for the emancipation of the Palestinians and a society in which Jewish and Palestinian people can live on an equal basis, advancing to socialism.
