Roa'a Abu Nada

Farha is a powerful storytelling of true events. It tells the heart-wrenching way in which the Palestinians' lives and dreams were ended in the middle of a phrase. Lives, loves and laughter were snuffed and stolen away by the unjust inhumane attack on Palestinians which occurred in 1948. While most people think that the Nakba is an event that happened in the past, its intergenerational trauma still lingers in Palestinians' psychics. It is not only an honest and accurate story, but it also emphasizes that the Palestinian perspective of this mass-slaughter and dispossession, will never go quietly into the night; a confirmation that Palestinians will never be bullied into silence. It is a reminiscent of the stories told by our grandparents and by our families and the egregious treatments they escaped, because of which they became a mere diaspora, scattered upon the face of the earth, carrying along the sorrow of losing their lands The Oscar-worthy performances are very reflective of the loss this catastrophe had on people's lives
