IMDB

The film, shot in 1978, documents the experiences of Palestinian women who speak about the horrors of life in the occupied territory and displacement, as well as resistance and love for their country. The film is titled Jafra, which suggests it was made in honor of solidarity with the Palestinian people. The word “Jafra” has been used through film and cultural resistance movements as a metaphor for Palestine itself – idealized, beautiful, longed for, and now lost or in exile.
