(Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk)
The Palestinian photographer rarely loses her warm smile, even amid the horrors of a bombarded Gaza. Her desire to bear authentic witness gives her purpose and the will to live. Week after week, she connects over a faltering and disrupted signal with the renowned Iranian filmmaker. For one, it is a window into a free world; for the other, a glimpse of an unforgiving prison. For both, it is a miracle whenever the connection holds. Two screens, two faces, Fatima’s photographs and videos form the simple visual language of the film, complemented by the sounds of a Gaza under siege.
