In this week’s episode of Culture Bites, Enas Refaei and Farah Andrews discuss a new video game about the 1948 Palestinian Nakba, talking about how gaming can be used to tell historical stories. The upcoming Dreams on a Pillow follows a Palestinian mother called Omm who, in the chaos of being forcibly removed from her home, mistakenly grabs a pillow instead of her child.
Meanwhile, the Bafta TV awards delivered some big surprises this year, with Mikey Madison taking Best Actress and Conclave winning both Best Film and Best British Film. The hosts picked their highlights from the awards ceremony, while looking at the global influence of it.
Listing their weekly recommendations, Farah picked Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, which hit UAE cinemas a few days ago, and Enas picked Bashy's Being Poor is Expensive album, which was announced as Best Album at the Mobo Awards after recording the episode.
