Somehow I missed watching this earlier. It is an incredibly moving film–especially since it was filmed in 2021 before the war. I’m sure all the young people in the film have since had their families torn apart and experienced their homeland being demolished. I’m sure those featured, along with hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, have been injured, died, or lost loved ones. The film is one more reminder of why I have been calling DC several times a week since April, 2023, to voice my opinion about what’s happening in Gaza and the West Bank. The pre 2023 resilience expressed in the film is inspiring; the current situation is beyond heartbreaking.
