Fragmented by Balolas Carvalho, Tanya Marar | PRT | 7'00''
Synopsis: A pioneer of journalism in Gaza, a retired ex-political prisoner, made the impossible decision to leave his homeland after 25 days of genocide and head to Malta. His escape is not only a matter of personal survival, but a desperate attempt to honor his daughter's plea for a chance at a shared future. Fragmented is a collection of memories that confront the human cost of the Israeli military occupation and the ongoing struggle for justice in Palestine. The film reminds us of the power of a sense of belonging in the face of unimaginable adversity and the bonds that unite us in the common desire for freedom and dignity. As Qassem contemplates the uncertain path ahead, Fragmented offers a timely glimpse into the unbreakable spirit of those who refuse to be defeated by oppression.
