It's time for the next movie in our Palestinian Film Series. This Friday we will be screening "The Present". Please join us. And tell your friends :)
This short film is about a father and daughter in the Palestinian enclaves of the West Bank. Each morning, Yusef, a doting father-of-one, has no other choice but to queue for hours and navigate the harrowing Checkpoint 300, an infamous, crowded Israeli crossing point between Bethlehem and Jerusalem, to get to work on time. On his wedding anniversary, Yusef and his daughter set out to Jerusalem to buy his wife a new refrigerator. The film documents their journey.
