Actress Maisa Abd Elhadi was shot while protesting in 2021. This short reimagines the moment the actress danced with the forces and through creativity removed all obstacles, for herself and those before and after her. This film is led by actress/dancer Maisa Abd Elhadi who was shot in the leg in May 2021 in Haifa while protesting peacefully against Palestinian home demolition. It is made with the leaders of the Palestinian circus, whose members have been persecuted and detained. The director has also been targeted as she protested peacefully. We continue to make and change history through creativity that never dies.

Directed by Susan Youssef
