Film Description
Arab Israeli filmmaker Ebtisam Mara'ana grew up in Paradise (Fureidis in Arabic), a small fishing village overlooking the Mediterranean. One of few Arab towns left untouched during the 1948 War, Paradise became culturally and politically isolated as Jewish settlements sprung up around it. Today, it is a place defined by silence and repression - a village whose men are unemployed, whose women tend to household chores, and where the Islamic Movement builds its strength among disheartened youngsters.
