Shooting Mohammed / The Butcher / Chicken Heads / The Shoemaker

Shooting Mohammed
"In my class there are 13 students and half of them are very religious settlers and they hate me, or you can say that they don't like me". Imagine to be a 21 year old Palestinian refugee. Imagine taking the bus every morning to go to an Israeli settlement in the West Bank to study at an Israeli University where you are the only Arab student in the department. This is the story of a young man split between two worlds that fear and hate each other. This is Muhammad's story.

The Butcher
Mimoun is a middle-aged Arab man running a financially troubled butchery in Paris. He is a staunch pessimist, but nonetheless a respected elder in his community. When Mimoun is given the opportunity to sell his business, he reflects on his choices and wonders if he can leave the place he calls home.

Chicken Heads
Set in the heart of Palestinian farmland, Chicken Heads tells the story of an 11-year-old bedouin boy, Yousef, who faces a moral dilemma when his pet gazelle harms one of his father's prized animals. Chicken Heads is a coming of age story that explores the fine line between taking responsibility for one's actions and lying in order to protect oneself.

The Shoemaker
Saber, an Iraqi shoemaker, returns to his family after being wrongfully detained by the occupation forces for two years. Buried just beneath the joy of return are dark shadows that have followed him home.
