I can't handle all this emotion': Mo Amer on using daring comedy to redefine the Palestinian experience
Briefly

Mo Amer, a prominent Palestinian voice, discusses the recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. While he acknowledges the positive aspect of an official ceasefire, he approaches it with skepticism, hoping it leads to real change for Palestinians. The conversation also promotes his Netflix show 'Mo', which provides a semi-autobiographical glimpse of his experiences as a refugee in the US, depicted through humor and heartfelt storytelling, showcasing the struggles faced by him and his family.
As a Palestinian man, we're very suspicious of deals like this... Whenever people are willing to literally say: Cease fire, it's over, no more, that's always a positive thing.
The second season of Mo showcases a semi-autobiographical retelling of his life as a refugee in the US, blending humor with heartfelt storytelling.
The show manages the rare trick of being just as funny as it is heartfelt, allowing humanity to pour out of every frame.
