In December 2008, a massive Israeli assault is launched in the Gaza Strip.
Mahmoud is in London, his mother's in Gaza, and he is desperately waiting for her to call his mobile. When Mahmoud agrees to take part in a radio program about Gaza, his mobile is taken away by the producers. For the next few minutes, he has to endure listeners' questions, and a surprise guest who will reveal what has become of his mother.
Fatenah
Inspired from a true story. Fatenah, a Palestinian woman who lives in Gaza Strip. Her simple wishes were her consolation in the abnormal living situation around her. But when she discovers a lump near her breast, she will start a journey of torment, loss and pain and will struggle to save her dreams from getting shattered by the injustice and cruelty that surrounds her world.
Noor
Noor, an American teen visiting Palestine for the first time with her mother, gets caught in an Israeli Defense Forces imposed curfew - interrupting her birthday plans with a sudden journey to her aunts. While there, she is forced to come to terms with her families past in an unexpected turn of events.
Phatwa
Narcy is an Arab in the West and a Hip Hop artist trying to make it in the rap game. When he tries to board a flight to New York with his friend, Yushua, to perform at a music festival, Narcy is stopped by an ignorant and zealous security agent. In the style of the epic music video, PHATWA will make you laugh, bob your head and question the role of Americans and Arabs in a post 9/11 world.
