Director Statement

Filmmaker Aleen Shoufani

Film making is my passion, for me also it's an instrument to convey different views of realities, express one's feelings, speak out different stories, and create .

I believe that sharing stories through filming is a powerful and a major tool which influences the world positively, and increases overall awareness.

I made this film, for the sake of history, the present of today is the past of tomorrow, and the past will be history one day. It is important that the world knows what is happening in the present, what is happening to humanity and to the Palestinian people. The Palestinian has a story to tell.

And maybe one day all this history will remain a memory for the next generation in the future.
