Yousef presents a recording of the documentary, Palestine 1920, produced by Al Jazeera English.

The film includes accounts from historians, witnesses and archival documents, which show Palestine as a thriving province of the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, challenging the narrative that Palestine was "a land without a people and a people without a land".
