Aisha's Story

“Food is the most precious part of Palestinian heritage.” Aisha Azzam and her husband started their family grain mill in Baqa’a refugee camp, Jordan, 35 years ago. She treasures her role in safeguarding culture by milling the wheat, grains, and herbs essential to Palestinian cuisine. Through food, Aisha traces the story of Palestinian displacement and rebuilding family and community in a refugee camp. Harvesting, milling, cooking, and feasts ground the film's arc of displacement, longing, and resistance. In Aisha's words, “Food is what keeps us together as Palestinians.”
As yet another tragedy unfolds, Aisha’s Story captures the loss, beauty, and steadfastness that define Palestinian lives.
