This is Not Living (Hay Mish Eishi)

 

ABOUT THE FILM

Exploring the devastating effects of military occupation, terror and isolation, this deeply moving piece explores the lives of eight Palestinian women and their struggle to live normal lives amidst the degrading drama of war. Representing a diverse cross-section of Palestinian society - from a news editor to a domestic worker to a housewife - they candidly speak about their daily encounters with violence and their marginalization in the ideological debate concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
