8:37 am
where does the back to your. own you don't want. 'd to have. questions with. the palestinian israeli conflict is sorrow almost like a cliche nowadays i wanted to show just a human istic part of it a good. idea. and a bomb racial. remark wrecker. one morning i remember like waking up with a question what will happen if they used their when ever i mean and area

how can our help disrupt a longstanding prejudice that question also drives director deion's ahead jamal. living in a country like afghanistan it's it's not something easy of course for anybody not. for not for any human being in the. d'anna dedicated her film more to the women of afghanistan. in 2009. then afghan president hamid karzai approved a law that once again after years of taliban rule curtailed women's rights so
8:40 am
deonna took to the streets to protest provided the impetus for her film. this law was something fool of why lands against women and against human it said something like this that if a woman leave her house without her husband permission the husband can be warse that why. was was not the thing that it was and i can see that the tough guy that was tough guy no
8:41 am

young that's going to be no not at all you are so gentle and quiet and then just all of you. in dating website unfortunately there are no palestinian women. so if a palestinian guy wants to use tin there harlow is results come from the israeli side and when he after times like almost always when they try to talk to an israeli woman she would like. she she she wouldn't engage in conversation so the men i matched were actually really happy that a news really woman is happy to talk to them so you haven't left the gaza strip for 20 years and if you would like to visit me in tell of the. girls i'm. certain that you are going to care for them you would be

8:44 am
a political conflict her film shows people who fall through society's cracks. when i started to. come back in the 1st moments in the 1st moment i saw came back i was in there and with the people i was in the very beginning a little bit shocked like with how the some places. i don't know like in the in this day as sometimes there were track. from the injections a few in and i was really shocked actually this was my 1st moment but somehow after a while i got used to this and ambient and i. loved. that i really got close to the people i was portraying just one of the residents of the social housing tower florencio got really close to was of enough so.
8:45 am
when you're not chunky when it's not because i was meeting the gentry who are. just fishing business. lets you know sometimes in fact there are scenes that show my protagonists and the moments very intimate moments i think it's very necessary to show this moments because it's it's the life of them and why should i make like a different tell a different story that's not the truth. here . which you should know. who you really want to thank you so we will show. yeah oh for the toilet and. how.
8:46 am
you and. me break through to this movie that my never going. to catch. fish unless you want to force see. if you know my i felt that their lives. as maybe of our lives. it can happen something very hard and you lose your say so she's careful to preserve the protagonist's dignity is this need us to frighten off benghazi. this into can free t.v. now and again. as leaders then of course to uncouple. glassy fiction and in how to jump into the sea it. mitch still need me don't need to troy just. did each minute frightening scene then to now
8:47 am
been. unleashed by so much to. not measure with my need. to really fighting to get out of it but having this positive. deion's i have jamal also knows what it means to keep fighting and to stay positive . the director is a canadian citizen. yet she decided to return to her homeland of afghanistan to live and work as a filmmaker. we didn't have any screening place in called police after. suicide attack 2 french institute that's why we we made this very small place very cozy we have one a special day for women and it's good because many women are not allowed to be in
8:48 am
a place with other men but this place is good because someday they can come with their friends and watch films without. any imitation. deonna is convinced that through her films she can make a difference. being a creator is is very important and i love that. beyond his short film. premiered at the venice film festival in 2019. the story of. suffering and pain. as a kid. 12 year old a cairo survived
8:49 am
a suicide bomb attack a trauma she deals with along. i get a certain level rather have you get out of the chair general of i wonder if. the parent heard of 6 the other for the family what i want to. hear more about offering the kind of product this year you don't like provide a kind of. i always suffer when i look at. the children. in my country and. i think they are. of course it's it's hard for everyone but to kids children are so innocent and. they are now he they are they are.
8:50 am
they are little kids they're in when you compare to other children in the ward you can see how much software is in their eyes. like children of my country. they don't know really what is happiness. they eat they never experience happiness. all 3 of these young filmmakers believe in the power of hope. i think i wanted to sort of challenge borders in all senses the rich. people are starting to think about you know gender fluid and gender queer and all these kind of movements are happening now days so i
8:51 am
think that i want the next thing to be an. in nationality fluid like there won't be any borders and you want to have to answer the question where are you from or you can just say answer these questions and saying i'm from the world or care i am nationality fluid. oftentimes my films are 3rd party. people like really need human connection you know our society is going. more and more towards dark times where people are really really lonely you see that in the u.s. a lot for example a naked america would just give people like the stage to talk i'm just basically giving them sort of free therapy this is how trauma by the way
8:52 am
i see a piano so i am and interviewing americans about. masculinity and politics and intimacy and love and loneliness and what does it mean to be american it's less likely about present trauma and more what i think about the. society that has us for like 15 or 16 naturally asks us naturally doing our jobs exactly. are you enjoying us yes why do you enjoy a. documentary feel my career's often times get accused did they use their characters but i don't think that's true because if someone agree to being in your film he or she have a motivation the more diversion is usually dead they want to be listened and heard
8:53 am
. german documentary filmmaker. loved listening to her protagonists. i really got attached to their stories and i was really wanting for example cal had to stop drinking. to go today to fulfill her dream the better ness i was helping her to to put all the smaller things on the war i really enjoyed the time with them we still need. to revisit. i love my protagonist saw the movie and they loved it very much they also said like i feel patrick very aware. i think when i make movies generally i don't really have a particular message because i think everyone sees the film different and has its own method but what i like is to get blake to show a public or to make it possible to other to but supposed to see paid in their lives
8:54 am
and the people lives i portray so to to open this window. afghan filmmaker deanna's i have jamal opens a window onto a war torn country in the world we know little about. through needs me because i'm the one that can go to the street and fight for korea today i don't want her to suffer as much as i did. what i wish. to do is to influence my people to my art in life so. i choose to be in my country. despite all the dangers i know when i leave my house maybe i can come back and
8:55 am
then even. when i feel depressed or down. i think it. it it's not worth it. just we're given it's not worth it life is so precious. oftentimes i get asked whether there's a border between there really i'm me and like my persona in the movies like in their character of me in the movies. i guess that in my films i try to portray it women as both vulnerable but also filled with empathy and. more powerful than
