Overview
A powerful film on theatre, trauma, resistance, and the children of Jenin who grew up under occupation.
Arna Mer came from a Zionist family and, in the 1950s, married a Palestinian. In the West Bank, she opened an alternative education system to replace the formal one, which was practically paralyzed by the Israeli occupation. Together with her son Juliano, who was a prominent actor, she started a theater group engaging children from the Jenin refugee camp, helping them express their everyday frustrations, anger, bitterness, and fear.
Juliano taught the children theater from 1989 to 1996, and in this film, he returns to the ruins of the refugee camp to see what happened to them.
