Description
Director Kamal Aljafari presents a striking visual narrative of the Palestinian landscape under occupation. Combining archival footage with aerial views, the film juxtaposes scenes of pastoral calm—farmers working, children playing—with violent intrusions of dynamite and destruction. As explosions reshape the land, ‘Undr’ quietly illustrates the slow, deliberate appropriation of land and history. With its haunting images, the film reflects on the enduring impact of surveillance, militarism, and colonialism in Palestine.
