In these dark days, there is an urgency to think beyond old limitations in order to preserve our stories and ensure their authenticity. It is equally urgent to unite those across the Arab world who share the same dreams, the same hopes and many of the same obstacles. When opportunities are connected, sustainable co-productions possibilities  can emerge. This panel  includes Nadia Eliewat  - Jordan, Mohammed Hefzy - Egypt, Lamia Cherabi - Morocco, Assia Boundaoui (USA/ Algeria) and Abdallah Khatib - Palestine. Moderated by  May Odeh.
