Arna Mer Khamis was a legendary Israeli activist against the occupation.
Born Jewish, she married a Palestinian and spent her life campaigning for
human rights. In the Jenin refugee camp, Arna opened a theatre where, with
her son Juliano, she taught children to express themselves through art.
When Arna died of cancer in 1995, the theater ultimately did not survive.
Five years later, Juliano, one of the region's leading actors, returns to
discover what happened to 'Arna's Children.' Shifting in time, his film
juxtaposes the young boys with the militants and martyrs they become,
exposing the horror of young lives trapped by the circumstances of Israeli
occupation. Winner: Best Documentary Feature - Tribeca Film Festival, 2004.
Winner: Best First Documentary Feature ¬- Canadian International
Documentary Festival, 2004.
