BLOOD LIKE WATER

Based on true stories.
When Shadi embarks on a secret adventure, he accidentally drags his proud Palestinian family into a trap where they only have two choices; either collaborate with the Israeli occupation, or be shamed and humiliated by their community.

Dir. Dima Hamdan

MAMA’S FATTEH

A daughter, oceans away from her Palestinian mother, craves a slice of home. Guided by her mother's voice & the grandmothers and aunties that came before her, she recreates her family's eggplant 'fatteh' in her own Brooklyn kitchen. A celebration of diaspora culture, recipes with the power to connect, and the intimate memories that only food carries.

By Alia Carita Tompkins & Nasma Kublawi
