This episode reflects on Farah’s commendable journey as an artist who dons the hat of a storyteller, director and producer and brings to life gut wrenching stories of Palestinians displaced and left to die. Farah talks about the role she plays as a mother and a woman that arms her with the skills and unending pursuance to continue writing stories that she strongly resonates with. Having the experience and first-hand knowledge of the injustice prompted Farah to do more than give charity and sympathy as that was certainly not enough. Through her work, she aims to re-humanize the Palestinians and draw attention to the atrocities they face at the hands of their persecutors.
