Children of Fire

This film offers a rare view of the Intifada as seen through the eyes of Palestinian children. At age five, Fadi is already throwing stones, while for Hana, 11, the Intifada is a new way of life which, 'has taught us to depend on ourselves.' Through deeply moving interviews we learn what a tremendous psychological impact the curfews, house demolitions, night raids, expulsions,school closings and death and destruction have had on the children.

TWN acknowledges that in New York we are on the unceded territory of the Lenni Lenape, Canarsie, Shinecock, and Munsee peoples and challenges the harm that continues to be inflicted upon Indigenous and People of Color communities here and abroad, which is why we all need to be part of the struggle for rights, equality and justice.
