ABOUT THE FILM

Why is it easier for the director to go to New York than to Gaza? This film is a personal reflection on the 50th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba. The director combines archival images of the Nakba with images of life today to express feelings about the events of 1948 and the consequences for this people.
