جنين والنّكبة بيننا  | Jenin & the Nakba Between Us, 90 / 52 min, est. release 2026

Armed with a Canadian passport, a diasporic Palestinian filmmaker struggles to make a contemporary portrait of Jenin, the ancestral hometown her parents fled following the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank. Guided by local residents — farmers, street vendors, taxi drivers, teachers, and elders — she desperately tries to capture this elusive place, unaware that her footage would become a haunting record of yet another Palestinian community on the eve of unspeakable destruction and violent erasure.
