Television Drama Series "The Team"

Period: December 2008- September 2009

The Team is a serial drama that follows the fortunes of a Palestinian football team, exploring social and political issues through the challenges faced by its supporters and players on a daily basis. With characters reflecting the diversity of Palestinian society, the program uses drama to explore issues ranging from customs and traditions to the daily reality of life under occupation. As the storylines unravel, the program explores what it means to work together and follow your dreams in the face of hardship and uncertainty.  

Beyond providing Palestinians with a world-class TV drama that reflects their aspirations and realities, this project has also boosted the Palestinian artistic and cultural scene, and allowed amateurs and professionals from the West Bank to work together with Palestinian colleagues throughout the region.


A collaboration between Ma'an Network and Common Ground Productions, The Team is the largest all-Palestinian television production undertaken by any organization to date; 30 episodes have been filmed with 110 Palestinian actors in more than 70 different locations all over Palestine. Directed and written by script-writer Nabil Shoumali, the series emphasizes themes of non-violence, collaborative problem solving, and tolerance. 

Results:

    The Team was filmed between May and August 2009, and the 30 episodes will be broadcast on Ma'an TV Network and other satellite channels during 2010.
