Ricardo sits down for a conversation with Hanan Daoud Mikhael Ashrawi. Hanan was born in 1946 - two years before the Isreali invasion of Palestine. She is a Palestinian leader, legislator, activist, and scholar who served as a member of the Leadership Committee and as an official spokesperson of the Palestinian delegation to the Middle East peace process, beginning with the Madrid Peace Conference of 1991. Her resume is long - too long even to go over but her life has been one of patriotism, discussion, debate and of course a strong and deep revolutionary spirit.
