Hassan Al Balawi, a Palestinian diplomat, returns to his homeland on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the death of Yasser Arafat. Filmed in 2019, Al Balawi’s journey from the occupied West Bank to the border of Gaza draws a subjective image of what has become of the Palestinian liberation struggle, foreshadowing the events that would unfold on October 7, 2023.

[VdR '25] The film is structured as a journey that makes several stops to trace the development of the recent history of Palestine and the conflict with Israel, establishing the route of the relationship between Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin, the two leaders who made a real effort to achieve peace. The journey of Palestinian diplomat Hassan Al Balawi in 2019 traces some of the background to the struggle for self-determination and offers an interesting note on the internal threats of disunity and betrayal that have prevented peace from being achieved even when they were willing to discuss it.
