Synopsis:

Another Day Shall Come is an audio-visual portrait of stifled Palestinians living in Israel during its genocide in Gaza. It features a collection of anonymous voices, edited into scenes shot in Palestine over four seasons, encapsulating 76 years of identity deprivation and marginalisation from both cinematic representation and the broader Palestinian narrative.

Anonymous Palestinian citizens of Israel entrust the director with their thoughts, secrets, and struggles through voice messages. Their reflections on life under colonization unfold against a backdrop of fragmented existence, revealing the sensitive and often overlooked lives and inner journeys of Palestinians living in Israel during an ongoing Genocide. Through their voices, the film vividly portrays their duality, struggles with identity, and quest for freedom, posing a poignant question: How can we truly understand the experiences of Palestinians within the 1948 borders?
