Description
‘Refuge’ follows two Palestinian millennials, Mohammed and Sameera, both of whom were born and raised outside of Palestine. In the film, they tell us about their connection to their homeland and the ways they try to stay close to their identity, history and culture. One such way, as they both mention, is by attaching the meaning of home, in all its wholeness, to their grandmothers and great-aunts who symbolize the resilience and power of the Palestinian people.
