جنين والنّكبة بيننا  | Jenin & the Nakba Between Us, 90 / 52 min, in production

Armed with a Canadian passport, a diasporic Palestinian filmmaker travels to the agricultural town her parents fled following the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank. Seeing Jenin for the first time, she is unable to reconcile the nostalgic memories of the exiled with the daily realities of Palestinians living under military rule. Guided by local farmers, vendors, taxi drivers, and even a geography teacher, she tries to capture an elusive place, unaware that post-October 7th her footage would become a haunting record of a besieged community on the eve of yet another major cycle of violent destruction and erasure.
