Palestinian Film 'All That's Left of You' Faces Challenges

Palestinian Film 'All That's Left of You' Faces Challenges

Cherien Dabis is a Palestinian American filmmaker who made a movie called 'All That's Left of You'.

This movie is about a big Palestinian family and their struggles from 1948 until now.

She started making the movie in 2023, but after the events of October 7, 2023, she had to change her plans.

She couldn't film in Palestine like she wanted to, so she had to film in other places like Cyprus, Jordan, and Greece.

The movie is about forgiveness and redemption and shows the hardships Palestinians have faced.

It has won awards at film festivals and is Jordan's official entry for the Best International Film Oscar.

The movie is very important to Dabis because it tells the story of her family and the Palestinian people, which she feels isn't often told correctly in the Western media.
