and i love the story of how she met the film—maker, sarah beddington, the artist — they were in a cafea woman leant over to sarah and said, "are you happy?" such an interesting intro. and the two struck up a conversation, they struck up a great friendship. sarah ended up going to the camp, finding out more about this very strong personality, fadia, who makes a very interesting subject, i think. and fadia actually asked her to go to her homeland — the homeland she can't visit — in order to find this tree, which is a mulberry tree that's kind of legendary in the family, and it's very much part of her ancestral identity. i think it's a quietly powerful piece of work. for me, it's not up there with other personalfemale—led documentaries we've had recently like i am belmaya, or the wonderful for sama. but i do think that it raises some issues that are interesting, and it's certainly quite moving and a little bit, heartbreaking in places. yes, i think everyone should watch it, in the sense ofjust reminding ourselves how refugees live. this is someone who can almost see the border of the coun

and i love the story of how she met the film—maker, sarah beddington, the artist — they were in a cafer sama. but i do think that it raises some issues that are interesting, and it's certainly quite moving and a little bit heartbreaking in places. yes, i think everyone should watch it, in the sense ofjust reminding ourselves how refugees live. this is someone who can almost see the border of the country she should be living in, but is living her whole life with herfamily in a refugee camp in lebanon — and yet so close to her homeland, which she clearly, of course, as you would, really pines for. and that comes through across the whole film, doesn't it? and that's very powerful and very moving, i think. it's very much about a sense of home, and also, it's interesting, it's contrasted with lots of details about bird migration in the area. so i think perhaps slightly laboured, but interesting symbolism there obviously about the freedom of the birds and the freedom that she doesn't have. yes, and how certain birds will land on one side of the palestine border, as that as they refer to thei
