Arna's Children
Arna's Children
Juliano Mer Khamis and Danniel Danniel
Documentary | Palestine/Israel | 2003 | 85 min.
Arna Mer was born of a Zionist family. However, Arna married Saliba Khamis, a Palestinian from Nazareth. Their son, Juliano Mer Khamis, documents his mother and her work in Jenin and the Jenin refugee camp. Arna opened an alternative education system for children whose regular life was disrupted by the Israeli occupation. The theatre group that she started engaged children from Jenin, helping them to express their everyday frustrations, anger, bitterness and fear. His footage was shot between 1989 and 2002 of the children his mother dedicated herself to. The film shifts back and forth in time to reveal the tragedy and horror of lives trapped by the circumstances of the Israeli occupation.
