Screening and discussion with the film maker (08.02.2006)
A documentary video by Rima Essa
Ashes, directed by Rima Essa,
36 min., Arabic/Hebrew with English subtitles, 2001
Raised by a mother engulfed in forgetfulness, and by a memory of a father of which only dim recollections remain, here I am - a refugee.
Living 4 kilometres away from my homeland, yet far enough away as to never return alive.
A second class citizen, a refugee on my own land, in my own country. In
the midst of the chaos I have lost my national, political and feminine
identity.
