In the latest 'event' in Palestine, I was stuck in New York, away from home. During the day, we followed the news in Gaza and Sheikh Jarrah, and in the evenings we flooded the streets of New York in the hundreds of thousands in loud antiapartheid chants. Sleepless nights followed. This film was an exercise in healing the embodied intergenerational trauma we carry as a collective. The Nakbah is ongoing, but this 2-minute film reverses some of the Nakbah footage. Those images are superimposed on a cracking dam followed by floods of return. Noura Erekat said: 'Keep pushing, we’re breaking through the dam.' This film wants to be a witness to infrastructural and structural shifts, we feel the small crack, and collectively we try to push all the water through to nurture our bodies and our spirits, but more importantly to quench the thirst of our ground.
