Opening with the harrowing 2000 press footage of Palestinian boy Mohamad al-Durra’s death in his father’s arms, Eliane Raheb’s film becomes both witness and participant. Her camera travels through Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt, tracing the lives of countless “young Mohamads” - children forced to grow up too soon in a world shaped by the intifada. As the journey unfolds, the filmmaker’s quest becomes deeply personal, prompting her to reflect on her place within the Arab world and to question her relationship with Palestine.
