Our take

Who pays the price in a war? Filmed in Palestine between 2016 and 2017, Occupied explores that question through intimate interviews that capture the essence of home, freedom, and occupation. Through local artists’ eyes, it paints a picture of life that becomes a testament to human resilience.
