‘All That’s Left of You’ director Cherien Dabis on Palestinian storytelling and survival https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/a9539de4-3e66-46b3-8e9c-8911c058ea0d Cherien Dabis, a Palestinian American filmmaker, joins Middle East Eye’s Maysa Mustafa to speak about her latest film, ‘All That’s Left of You’, an intimate story that follows one Palestinian family across generations, beginning in 1948 during the Nakba, through the First Intifada in the West Bank and into the present day. Dabis, who wrote, directed, and stars in the film, reflects on what it meant to recreate Palestinian history on screen and the weight of stepping into it as both storyteller and participant. She speaks about her intentions of showing the brutality of the occupation, how decades of displacement have shaped Palestinian identity, and why telling these stories with care and truth feels especially urgent now. Dabis also urges audiences to support Palestinian films in cinemas, arguing that showing up in theatres is one of the most direct ways to help these stories reach wider audiences and permeate mainstream spaces.
