Dir. Dima Hamdan / 2023 / 14 mins / Palestine / Arabic / Drama / Australian Premiere

A powerful, queer-focused story about a Palestinian family who are forced to make an impossible choice.

Young, queer Palestinian Shadi embarks on a secret adventure that will inadvertently drag his family into a trap. To escape their bind, they must decide whether to collaborate with the Israeli occupation, lest they be blackmailed, or face humiliation from their community. Drawing on true stories, journalist and filmmaker Dima Hamdan has crafted a heart-wrenching and highly pressing coming-out story.
