Synopsis:
This film takes viewers on a powerful journey through Hebron under apartheid, shedding light on the work of Community Peacemaker Teams as they stand with Palestinians enduring human rights violations and abuses under Israeli occupation. Focusing on the stories of Nisreen and Tareq, who embody non-violent resistance and resilience, the film seeks to counter the dominant narrative by amplifying the voices of those who suffer in silence. Against the backdrop of ongoing violence and genocide, it highlights decades of steadfast Palestinian resistance and an enduring spirit of hope. As the narrator reflects, “One day, I will tell my grandchildren about life under occupation and how, with my community, we survived a violent apartheid system.” This poignant documentary is a testament to resilience and the unyielding fight for justice.
