A beautifully shot documentary about the last Palestinian keffiyeh (the iconic headscarf made famous by Yasser Arafat) factory in Hebron on the West Bank. Faced with Israeli military checkpoints, the complexity of exporting goods from the West Bank and now competition from Chinese keffiyeh manufacturers, the factory might not outlive its 76-year-old owner.
