“They do everything to erase our city, and to erase the remains from our minds.”
Sepideh Farsi’s documentary follows her video calls with Fatima, a young female Palestinian photojournalist living in Gaza who wishes for peace and joy, and remains hopeful and strong in times of destruction and death.
It hurts my heart that so many of the people in Fatima’s images are probably dead, and that herself, and her family, faced their own death in 2025, when they were killed by an Israeli airstrike. She is a testament to the humanity that lives on in Palestine; Fatima referred to coffee as the only thing that made sense in her life following the war. She wanted to visit Rome, and go to an amusement park. She wanted chocolate, and chicken, and to not live with such fear.
She was starving; “I miss everything. I miss my life. I miss the food that my mum used to cook.”
Fatima never made it to Cannes like she hoped, or to see Sepideh. May she rest peacefully, at last.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
