USA and Palestine / 58 Min / Tariq Nasir
This is the story of what happens when ordinary people get caught up in the extraordinary circumstances of war. Told by two generations of director Tariq Nasir’s family members, belonging recounts the deep-rooted attachment to one’s land, the loss of an ancestral home, and the experience of becoming refugees.
The wars of 1948 and 1967 changed the lives of Palestinian families like the Nasir’s forever – yet this is not a story of blame and bitterness, but a human story, one of displacement and loss; a story of longing and belonging.
