In Her FootstepsIn Her Footsteps

In the dead of night, filmmaker Rana Abu Fraiha's family left their house in the Bedouin village, Tel Sheva, and moved, perhaps 'fled', to Omer, a nearby Jewish town. 20 years later Rana's mother became ill with breast cancer and expressed an unprecedented wish, to be buried as a Muslim in the town’s Jewish cemetery. Her wish tore the family apart and raised serious dilemmas, about identity, belonging, femininity and the meaning of home. Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the **Ophir Awards** (Israel's Academy Awards).
