Generation Palestine

Generation Palestine is a cultural documentary that follows dear friends and family as they discuss the culture of Palestine and what it means to them as individuals living in the diaspora.

Disclaimer: This film was conceived and produced in February 2023, prior to the most recent atrocities in Palestine. It was never intended to be a political film, but rather to show the beauty, gentleness, warmth, and community that is Palestinian culture.

Director Statement

Growing up with a Palestinian Grandmother and many Palestinian friends, I have always had a deep love for their beautiful culture. My passion is to document the most incredibly authentic stories of resilience and strength, and to offer Palestinians the opportunity to express their true emotions towards their homeland and heritage. In doing so, I hope to educate others on the beauty, gentleness, warmth and community that is the Palestinian culture.
