The Short-Film.

West Bank, Palestine.

Inside the Occupied territories by the Israeli military forces, the Palestinian inhabitants suffer on a daily basis from basic human rights violations.

The occupation controls the access to their territory, its natural resources, and the freedom of movement.

Three stories of Beauty, Courage, and Strength convey parallel points of encounter for Palestinians living under occupation.

Chapter A. Ramallah

Ramallah during Nakba.

Friday prayers had ended and a different call started.
Friends, family, and other individuals gather on a canvas
of Beauty and Hardship, the central city of Palestine.

Multiple stories developed at the same time,
a strong and peaceful energy is felt.

The beginning of new friendships, the confirmation
of true love.

Chapter B. Susiya/Yatta/Tuwani

A natural landscape of love
family
and history.

The powerless feeling of anger,
mixed with the sweetest kiss of kindness.

Strangers becoming family
shinning their light
over darkness.

Chapter C. Free or Die

Non-Violent Resistance, Oppression, hope, and pride.

One’s determination is another’s inspiration,
beauty overpowered by violence,
the future will prove history right.

Souls that left us
keep guiding the path to their loved ones.

Hardship is overcome with unbreakable ties.

GAZA Chapter. “A Symphony of Blooming Hearts”

Just as birds were born to be free and soar, so were humans.

An eternal desire of blooming over war.
Flowers grew in the chests of those who lived,
nurturing them with boundless affection.

The idea of freedom is omnipresent in every heart.
