Al Karamah - Human Dignity

Frode Storaas
Moslih Kanaaneh
1996
41 minutes

 

Frode Storaas and Moslih Kanaaneh are through this film describing the trials and tribulations of being a Palestinian Arab in Israel. A powerful - and ever so relevant - story.

We get to meet the Kanaanehs - Moslih's family. Especially the young niece Samyieh's situation is given a lot of attention. She particularly well exemplifies how young Palestinian women and men are drawn between tradition and modernity. The minority status in Israel furthermore accentuates this tension.
