"'Until when]....' is about our deep commitment to returning to our land. Because the Palestinian narrative is about return; the Palestinian narrative is about being a refugee, having the right to return, and keeping that consciousness in our minds; and then making sure that we speak to each of our successive generations about returning, about being connected to our land, our history, our culture.... " Jess Ghannam, producer, "until when.."
Set during the current Intifada, this documentary follows four Palestinian families living in Dheisheh Refugee Camp near Bethlehem. Fadi is thirteen and cares for his four younger brothers, the Hammash family pass on the lessons of life with humor and passion, Sana is a single woman who endures long commutes to do community work, and Emad and Hanan are a young couple trying to shield their daughter from the harsh realities of the occupation. They talk about their past and discuss the future with humor, sorrow, frustration and hope. "until when..." paints an intimate in-depth portrait of Palestinian lives today.
(Documentary, 76 min., Palestine/USA 2004, Directed by Dahna Abourahme)
Presented by N.J. Solidarity Activists for the Liberation of Palestine
