Nov 15- Arna's Children
Arna Mer led a small theatre group of Palestinian children in the West Bank. Her son Juliano, who directed the group, filmed the rehearsals and performances of the plays. Through playing, the children try to cope with their memories of the refugee camps and their daily realities. When the Israeli army occupies the city, the theatre rehearsals come to an end. But Arna doesn't take it lying down. She establishes an alternative educational system to replace the former one that was practically paralyzed by the Israeli occupation. After the death of his mother and years after the theatre is closed, Juliano looks up "Arna's children." Back in Jenin, he discovers little by little the tragic story of the theatre children who were so dear to him.*
