ARNA'S CHILDREN tells the story of a theatre group that was established by Arna Mer Khamis. Arna comes from a Zionist family and i ARNA'S CHILDREN tells the story of a theatre group that was established by Arna Mer Khamis. Arna comes from a Zionist family and in the 1950s married a Palestinian Arab, Saliba Khamis. On the West Bank, she opened an alternative education system for children whose regular life was disrupted by the Israeli occupation. The theatre group that she started engaged children from Jenin, helping them to express their everyday frustrations, anger, bitterness and fear. Arna's son Juliano, director of this film, was also one of the directors of Jenin's theatre. With his camera, he filmed the children during rehearsal periods from 1989 to 1996. Now, he goes back to see what happened to them. Yussef committed a suicide attack in Hadera in 2001, Ashraf was killed in the battle of Jenin, Alla leads a resistance group. Juliano, who today is one of the leading actors in the region, looks back in time in Jenin, trying to understand the choices made by the children he loved and worked with. Eight years ago, the theatre was closed and life became static and paralysed. Shifting back and forth in time, the film reveals the tragedy and horror of lives trapped by the circumstances of the Israeli occupation.

  • Thank you for uploading and for blocking comments until the last part. I hate seeing the exact same insults and arguing in circles on every single video about the conflict. 

  • and so the cycle continues with the director Mer-Kham being shot dead driving home from the theatre he set up in Jenin, holding his 1 year old son on his lap, on april 4 2011.

  • @FUCKyouANDyourPIGmom You might find it interesting that both the filmmaker and his mother Arna, the old woman wo worked with the children of Jenin and founded the theater are both jewish, the former describing himself as 100% Jewish and 100% Palestinian.

  • that why quran allah say palestine , saudi arabia is most hoy land that mean jew christian not allowed live it, jew christian can live other muslim countries like yemen syaria lebanon egypt iran, jew christian should destroy zionist for stop killed murder palestien for 60 year occuption,

  • ha ha, look palestine ahd many died million children si terror? fuck u dumb,

  • palestine never killed jew massarce, palestine alway aim killed only zioist israel, jew israel need will realised that palestine is true welcome jew christian in palestine that zionist dont want peace,

  • @moezzzie barely a country ??? are u blind ??? where did all those MILLIONS of palestinians suddenly appear from ? the facts are right before ur eyes my friend, there are MORE PALESTINIANS than there are ISRAELI ZIONIST (I feel ashamed to call israelis as jews because that wud be an insult to the good religion of judaism and true jewish people who also think israel is an illegal abomination of a state)

  • Look how those bitchass israelis even attack children without any kind of remorse, they have already slaughtered all the adult men so its only children left to fight....did anyone else notice how there were hardly any adult men ?

    probably all of them slaughtered by murdering israelis or locked in jail forever, pathetic israelis are doing a mass genocide of palestinians just like how hitler wanted to do to them

  • @moezzzie the hadiths are not the quran my friend, and also the hadiths are historical records collected by and from what was told by other people therefore they are only as truthful as the person who that info came from

    secondly the tribe of jewish ppl were attacked by muslims because they repetitively betrayed the muslims time and time again, i suggest u find out who u r defending before u jump to conclusions
