Dec 16, 2022 · Farha, the 92-minute film is inspired by the true story of a 14-year-old Palestinian girl, whose village was attacked in 1948 during the war in Palestine. The story revolves around the girl’s father sheltering her in a locked pantry during the outbreak of unrest and assuring her that he will return.
Dec 13, 2022 · Several Palestinians wrote that the film made them think of the experiences of their elders whose futures, like Farha's, were ripped from beneath their feet without any explanation in 1948.
Dec 12, 2022 · The Nakba remains a form of intergenerational trauma that follows Palestinians of all ages and backgrounds everywhere – in the diaspora, historic Palestine, the West Bank, and Gaza. Farha premiered at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 14, 2021 and was released on Netflix on Dec. 1, 2022.
The film, mostly led by a team of women, is produced by Deema Azar and Ayah Jardaneh of TaleBox in Jordan and co-produced by Laika Film & Television and Chimney in Sweden. But bringing the movie to life was a long and challenging process for Sallam, who started writing the film in 2016.
