Fatenah

Ahmad Habash - Animated Fiction, Palestine, 2009 28 min. Arabic

Fatenah is the first Palestinian animated short feature. It tells the story
of Fatenah, a warmhearted woman living in the Gaza Strip with her father
and sister. Her desires are simple - to maintain a normal life under the
abnormal conditions in Gaza. But when Fatenah discovers a lump near her
breast she will be compelled to embark on a journey of torment and loss in
order to save these simple dreams from the shattering cruelties surrounding
her. Based on a true story, Fatenah poignantly explores the many struggles
standing between Gaza's population and access to the most essential of
health services. The film was funded by the World Health Organisation and
has won several awards internationally.
