Mahmoud Ibrahim

Brothers Ziad and Moody spend their last day in their family home, which is scheduled for demolition. As they move furniture outside, Moody turns on the TV to pass the time, and they hear news about the demolition of Palestinian homes in Jerusalem.

Over 30 years of fieldwork, photographer Randa Shaath built an extensive archive of Palestine: decades of photographs of the people and places she calls home. In her living room, we open the archive together, guided by her rare gift for remembering a story behind each photo. One more return to Albelad (the homeland), she glides through the photos, and with every return, a story surfaces. She holds onto a narrative in which hope was possible, and a free Palestine never felt far away.
