I just came back from the “Film Week” event, that took place in Kuwait University, Department of English Language and Literature. The first movie shown this week, tonight, was Frontiers of Dreams and Fears (Ahlam Al-Manfa).
It was stunning! It really was. I was so moved, I am so moved!
Exactly as one of the audience has said, we are used to statistics and numbers when it comes to realizing the pain and struggle of the people and children of Palestine, and this movie helped us realize even more the tribulation they have. We saw tears, laughs, ruins, hands held together, bullets, children..
Everything that could move a human being.
From the very first scene, showing Mona walk in the neighborhood, I was so grateful to Allah for everything I have. Their neighborhood was a typical poor neighborhood that basically looked as if it was made of ruins put together. I felt a rush of gratitude for having such a beautiful neighborhood to live in, such a cozy fancy house to live in, such a peaceful safe homeland to live in. It’s such a blessing, we might sometimes forget to be thankful for.
Frontiers of Dreams and Fears, is very well edited. I wish it could be shown all over the world, not only for people to realize the Palestinian situation, but also for them to realize the struggle of our human brothers and sisters.
For all my brothers and sisters in Palestine and in every place in the world where they have been driven away from their land:
Have faith, and believe that the One who created this universe will elevate the injustice, and that he will return the land to its people. And may Allah strengthen your hearts and guide your way.
