On Nov. 2nd, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, more than 500 Palestinian films will be screened around the world as part of Palestine Cinema Days Around the World, initiated by Film Lab Palestine. This global effort is a show of solidarity with Palestine, an act aimed at amplifying censored Palestinian voices and correcting a narrative distorted by the media, world leaders and social media platforms.
When I Saw You (dir. Annemarie Jacir, 2012)
Tarek and his mother Ghaydaa number among the tens of thousands of refugees crossing the border from Palestine, having been separated from Tarek’s father amidst the chaos of the Six Day War. They ultimately settle at the Harir refugee camp, a makeshift home for a new generation displaced by conflict. Tarek dreams of being reunited with his father, and struggles to adapt to a new life far away from all he previously knew.
