I Am Palestine (2016)

In an arena of polarized opinions and political agendas shaped around the middle East, it is important to say what this film is - and is not. This is not a politically charged film, nor one that points blame at a whole nation. The intent of this film is not to append the prefix "pro-" to "Palestine", rather to break down stereotypes, to replace the broad claims with individual stories. This film brings us into the places of work and homes in Palestine. There we receive stories, both positive and challenging. This is the only way we can truly replace our innate desire to categorize and isolate with a desire to learn, to refer to them as one of us.
