Soup Over Bethlehem

Soup Over Bethlehem (2006) depicts an ordinary Palestinian family, Sansour's own, around a dinner table on a rooftop overlooking the West Bank city of Bethlehem. What starts as a culinary discussion about the national dish mloukhieh being served from a soup bowl soon evolves into a personal and engaging conversation about politics -- thereby emphasizing the symbiosis of food and politics so indicative of the Palestinian experience.

Thank you for your video .It is nice to have a glimpse at the Palestinian youth.

Is there any symbolic meaning to the all black and white video beside the lemon .

I would never dare to lie to authorities about my passport. However you do it.... with some fear ....but still do it is it by defiance ? Or is it because it just simplify the formalities

Yes in Israel they do know mlouria and it is very popular ! You have to remember that 50 percent of the Jewish who live there come from Arab country.
