Toronto Premiere

The filmmaker retraces his family village’s tragic history during the Nakba. The story is told by relatives and other survivors who witnessed the atrocities committed on that fall day in 1948. It is a story – at times brutal, at times inspiring – that traces the struggle of the people of Eilaboun to hold onto their existence, their history, and their determination to not let the horrors of these life-changing events be forgotten.
