Sarura – The Fututre is an Unknown Place

IMPACT DAYS

At the gates of the Negev desert, a group of young Palestinians fight against the Israeli military occupation. “Youth of Sumud” – the youth of steadfast perseverance – try to return to their people the land that was taken from their families, restructuring the ancient cave village of Sarura. They face aggression with nonviolent action, defending themselves from rifles with their video cameras; they oppose desolation and death with hope and life.Ten years after their first documentary on the nonviolent struggle in the West Bank, the directors return to the village of At-Tuwani and, using archival material more than 15 years old, tell how the children have grown up.

Impact Statement
With Sarura we want to increase the range of use of the film and achieve concrete results through the distribution of the documentary, involving as many stakeholders as possible.The ideal audience is made up of young people and adults who are willing to find solutions to contemporary world problems. The main characters of our movie are teenagers and youngsters, and we hope that portraying the never-ending conflict in Palestine from their point of view can lead the audience to reflect differently on the conflict and on its solutions, while inspiring young generations to take their lives into their hands and fight for human rights.
