Going Home

The story of a man remembering his childhood when he had to flee his home with his family because Zionist militia forced Palestinians out of their villages during al Nakba, the catastrophe, in 1948.

"Today I went home for the first time in 61 years...

I remember playing in the courtyard.

We left because we had to. The Israelis were coming.

Today was not the day for me to go home. But one day my family will return."

We will go home, we will go home...
