Arabic

Directed by: Dahna Abourahme

(76 mins) Dahna Abourahme, a New York based filmmaker who grew up in Abu Dhabi and Amman, follows four Palestinian families living in Dheisheh Refugee Camp near Bethlehem: Thirteen year old Fadi cares for his four younger brothers, the Hammashes are a close-knit family who pass on the lessons of life with humor and passion; Sana is a single woman who endures long commutes to do community work; and Emad and Hanan are a young couple trying to shield their daughter from the harsh realities of the occupation. They talk about their family histories in Palestine while looking to the future with humor, sorrow, frustration and hope.
