Through the story of a single family, THE NAKBA ACROSS GENERATIONS explores the last­ing impact of the Nakba and the inher­it­ed trauma of exile. Blend­ing per­son­al nar­ra­tives, his­tor­i­cal events, and evoca­tive ele­ments like food, music, and archival mate­r­i­al, the film exam­ines how mem­bers of the Pales­tin­ian dias­po­ra nav­i­gate iden­ti­ty and try to recon­nect with their roots.

Nour is a Lib­er­al Arts stu­dent at the Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege in Freiburg. Born in France, she grew up between there and Jordan, shaped by a mul­ti­cul­tur­al and mul­ti­lin­gual envi­ron­ment that equipped her with valu­able tools for adult life. Deeply pas­sion­ate about art and pho­tog­ra­phy, she chose to blend her cul­tur­al her­itage with cre­ative expres­sion, result­ing in an archival, per­son­al film on the Nakba and the ques­tion of exile.
