Made by a Palestinian from Lyd and a Jewish American, this documentary provides much-needed context for this moment, as it goes deep into the history of the Nakba from the perspective of Palestinians who survived. As the film cuts between fantastical and documentary realities, it ultimately leaves the viewer questioning what future should prevail. The film imagines an alternate reality where Palestine was never occupied and Palestinians of all religions (Muslims, Christians, and Jews) live in a liberated Palestine. Narrated by Palestinian actress Maisa Abd Elhadi who personifies the city, the viewer is guided through the lifespan of a five-thousand-year-old city and its residents. GET TICKETS
