Arna's Children (NR)

synopsis

Arna Mer (1929-1995) led in the last years of her life a small theatre group of Palestinian children on the West Bank. Her son Juliano, who directed the group, used his camera all those years to film the rehearsals and performances of the plays. The theatre closed a couple of years ago after the Israeli occupation. Back in Jenin he discovers, little by little, the tragic story of the theatre children who were so dear to him.
