    Episode 3: Literature and Existence, or Land and Love Episode 3 takes refuge in the earth, and weaves the words of Waanyi writer Alexis Wright and Noongar writer Kim Scott with Palestinian songs of the valleys, trees, water springs and wells, the harvests, and the seasons - using different musical and vocal forms that Palestinians and other people of the region have practiced for thousands of years. The program also features the story of revolutionary cartoonist Naji el Ali, and ends with a depiction of the continuous apartheid against the Palestinians of the Naqab in Southern Palestine.SpeakersProfessor Alexis WrightProfessor Kim ScottKhalid Al-AliElias NasrallahDr Karma NabulsiRafaat Abou AishMusicSana MoussaLe Trio Joubran (music) and Mahmoud Darwish (poetry)Al FunounRamallah UndergroundReem KelaniMusic of the Intifadah 1989SabreenKamilya Jubran and Werner HasslerRim Banna
