Biography and career

Nabulsi is the daughter of a Palestinian mother and Palestinian-Egyptian father.[2] Born and raised in London, she attended the Francis Holland School for girls and graduated at the Cass Business School. Before becoming a filmmaker, she received the CFA qualification and worked as a broker for many years. Nabulsi decided to leave the business world after a trip to Palestine in 2013.[3][1]

In 2016, she founded Native Liberty Productions, a not-for-profit media production company, that aims to re-humanize the Palestinians and draw attention to the injustices they face. She is also the founder of oceansofinjustice.com, an oline educational platform with news from the Israeli-occupied territories.[4]

Nabulsi has been invited to screen her work and speak at various notable events including the United Nations Headquarters in New York where she addressed the delegates in the Trustee Chamber Council.[5][6][7]
