NAIM
& WADEE’A
a
20-minute documentary on Yaffa before 1948. The documentary
explores social life in Yaffa through a miniature portrait of a
Palestinian couple, Wadee’a Aghabi and Naim Azar … the
filmmaker’s grandparents who lived in the city, and the effect
leaving Yaffa had on them.
The
story is built on the oral history of the three daughters of
Naim and Wadee’a … Mary, Janette and Therese. Their daughters
preserved their memories, taking the audience into lives of Naim
and Wadee’a and into the city they were forced to leave behind.
