Summary:
Lebanese revolutionary Kifah Afifi fought the Israeli occupation of South Lebanon in the late 1980s, culminating in her arrest for an armed attack on a private home in Kfar Kila. She was imprisoned for several years thereafter in the Khiam detention facility, run by the pro-Israeli South Lebanon Army. Afifi describes her experiences in prison, and also briefly reflects on her ideological role models and current life as a mainstream political activist.
