Fadia's Tree
classified U PSWhile millions of birds migrate freely in the skies, Fadia Loubani, a Palestinian refugee in Lebanon, yearns for the ancestral homeland she is denied.
She challenges art filmmaker Sarah Beddington to find an ancient mulberry tree that stands as witness to her family’s existence - with only inherited memories, a blind man and a two-headed dragon to guide the way. Over the course of the film, Sarah meets with ornithologists whose observations on the homing instincts of the birds inadvertently reveal the unresolved problems of the region.
Spanning fifteen years, Fadia's Tree is a story of a friendship that stays connected across a divided land by adopting a birds’ eye view to reflect on freedom of movement, exile and the hope of return.
