Christians
Shot in 2003, ‘Christians' delves into the lives of the Arab Christian community in Palestine. These individuals bear the weighty duty of safeguarding some of Christianity's holiest sites. They are often torn between their religious convictions and their steadfast loyalty to their Arab heritage, leading to divisions within their communities. Despite having established roots in Palestine for more than two thousand years, Palestinian Christians now find themselves precariously close to the edge of extinction.
