ARTHUR BALFOUR AND ME


Directed by | Charlotte Cornic

Genre documentary  |  Length: 11mins  |  Year of production: 2007


What links Arthur J Balfour, the British Politician born in 1848 on a sumptuous family estate in East Lothian and Fatima, a young Palestinian woman, born in 1971 in a refugee camp in Lebanon and now seeking asylum in Glasgow? From the narrow alley ways of a refugee camp in Lebanon to the beautiful farming landscape of East Lothian in Scotland, �Arthur Balfour and Me� is a visual and emotional journey through history and the present, a personal story about how one politician�s actions continue to affect the life of a young woman from the Middle East.
