Sara 2014 by Khalil Al Mozian
A screenwriter and a director are working on a film about Sara, a Palestinian girl in one of Gaza’s refugee camps, who is the victim of an honour killing. The screenwriter is unable to write an ending that is both compelling and fictitious. Meanwhile, the director, who is insistent on upholding the truth, is as keen to end his film, as he is to help his friend, who is deeply affected by Sara’s story. The film presents the different sides of Gaza, whose people are hurt by everyday issues as much as by death.
Screening at Mall of the Emirates, 9.45pm, Dh15 for students and Dh35 for adults. Arabic with English subtitles.
