Ana Dammi falastini

A Zeytoun Productions short film delivering a powerful statement about the intersection of personal struggle and political conflict. By delving into the life of a Palestinian in the UK, separated from a culture and a way of life, this film captures the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity, offering hope, challenging narratives, and inspiring solidarity. Through this film, we aim to promote a greater understanding of the Palestinian cause and rally support for justice and human rights..

It's a very personal but important message.

Directed and produced by Jay Scanlan-Oumow and Omar Ismail.

Shot in Newcastle upon Tyne, for Gaza.
