"Frontiers of Dreams and
Fears"
2001
Directed by Mai Masri
This documentary by
award-winning Palestinian filmmaker Mai Masri traces the delicate
friendship between two Palestinian girls: Mona, a resident of a Beirut
refugee camp and Manar, an occupant of Bethlehem's Al-Dheisha camp. The
two girls begin and continue their relationship through letters until they
are finally given the opportunity to meet at the border during the Israeli
withdrawal from South Lebanon. When violence suddenly erupts around them,
both girls face heartbreaking changes in their lives. "[E]xhibits an
optimism that cuts through the cynicism of minds numbed by too much
faceless violence on the evening news (Jim Quilty, Daily Star,
Lebanon). Arabic with English subtitles.
