WEST ... EAST Directed by | Rina Khoury Genre fiction | Length: 8mins | Year of production: 2006 Rina Khoury's awardwinning short is snapshot of the expulsions of 1948.
�West ... Beginning of the journey East ... End of the journey� This path was taken by many villagers fleeing their home seeking refuge� Amer and his blind mother were among these refugees� They embarked on this journey not knowing where it would lead and how long they would be able to survive it�� (director's statement).
Set in a deceptively lush fig orchard, the mother and son's exhaustion and the distant rumbling of artillery hint at the horrors of the Nakba.
