Walking into the film I had no expectations but the desire to watch something that tackle Palestinian stories.
As I learned about Farha, i started to have my own thoughts and dreams for her journey. Little did I that my dreams will be ripped away as the movie unravels. I felt heart broken as I witnessed the teen girl journey and I kept thinking, if that was me how was it for her then?!
Darin, The brilliant director and writer of the film told a story for the ages, and introduced new narrative to the way Palestinian stories are told, beautifully so. A well thought out and beautifully written and directed film. Beautiful acted by its young talent who held the movie on her shoulder and she did it with grace!
As i ugly sobbed at the end of screening, I was thankful for the experience because This film is important, and those stories needs to be told.
Can't wait for the director future projects!
