Roshmia (2015)

Documentary, 70m

An elderly Palestinian refugee couple fights to protect their home and way of life in Roshmia: the last natural valley in Haifa. Yousef and his wife Amna have lived in their dwelling since 1956 in what seems to be a life of serenity; far away from the noise of modern living. Life is peaceful in Roshmia until the Israeli authorities propose a new road project that threatens to expel them from their home once again.

Director: Salim Abu Jabal
