Film Info
In the first feature film produced within the Palestinian West Bank "Green Line," Michel Khleifi's FERTILE MEMORY combines documentary and narrative elements to examine the lives of Palestinian women living in a conflicted culture. Romia works in an Israeli factory and continually fights Israeli authorities for the rights to her family land. Sahar works as a novelist, and finds a struggle in her life as a young, divorced mother. Through the experiences of these women, the film finds the voice of Palestinian women, caught in a predominantly masculine political conflict.
