JORDAN-CULTURE-CINEMA-FILM-PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL-CONFLICT-HISTORY

Darin J. Sallam (C), Jordanian film writer and director, browses a computer screen with Deema Azar (L) and Ayah Jardaneh (R), two of the producers of “Farha”, her debut narrative feature film as a director, at her office in Jordan’s capital Amman on January 10, 2023. – Jordanian film “Farha”, vehemently criticised in Israel, is based on true events and represents “only a drop in the ocean” of Palestinian suffering, director Darin J. Sallam told AFP. Released last month on Netflix, “Farha” depicts atrocities against Palestinians during the 1948 conflict that coincided with Israel’s creation, which Palestinians call the Nakba, or “catastrophe”.
