 "The film takes us on a chronological tour 
 of the [Palestinian] artist's life, from his 
 childhood in the [refugee] camps, through his 
 days as a student. It follows him as he emerges 
 as an activist, journalist and artist, through 
 the various wars that shaped his work and 
 his fate, and finally into his exile in London, 
 where he was brutally gunned down by an 
 unknown assailant."\n
 \n
 "...This documentary 
 does an outstanding job of introducing not only 
 the personality of al-Ali, but also the most 
 important events shaping his work. It also 
 includes an excellent cross-section of the thousands 
 of political drawings al-Ali published 
 in his lifetime."\n
