“Stitching Palestine,” by Carol Mansour (Lebanon, 2017, 1 hr. 18 min). Documentary
Twelve Palestinian women sit before us and tell us about their lives before the diaspora, including their memories, lives and identity. Their stories are connected by the long-lasting thread in the ancient art of embroidery. Twelve resilient, determined and eloquent women from different professions and social statuses: women lawyers, artists, housewives, activists, architects and politicians, sew the story of their homeland, their dispossession and their unwavering determination to see justice prevail. Through their stories, individuals are woven in with the collective while remaining distinctly personal. Twelve women, twelve lives and stories from Palestine; a land whose position was fixed onto the map of the world but is now embroidered on its face.
