Documentary, 1h 59m
In the era of the second Palestinian Intifada (2000-2005), Canadian-Egyptian filmmaker Tahani Rached decided to delve into the realities of living under curfews and recurring military incursions from the perspectives of women in Ramallah. Soraida is one of them. The film provides intimate insights into her everyday life, as she grapples with fears and hardships, armed with the power of resilience and an enduring hope for a better future for her family and her people. Rached’s diligent narrative allows space for untold stories about being a woman under occupation and the underrepresented dimensions of resistance this entails.
