Deadly Drama
Two months ago, liberal Palestinians got a shock when one of their cultural heroes, Juliano Mer-Khamis, was murdered in the street. Could this signal the start of a new conflict over culture in the West Bank?

Juliano was a famous Israeli actor. His poster adorns the wall of the Freedom Theatre he set up.

As anger over his death simmers, can his vision of a non-violent renaissance continue?
