HOME VIDEO DVD COMING SOON!!
Award-winning Palestinian filmmaker Mai Masri's most recent work traces the delicate friendship that evolves between two Palestinian girls: Mona, a resident of the economically marginalized Beirut refugee camp and Manar, an occupant of Bethlehem's Al-Dheisha camp under Israeli control. The two girls begin and continue their relationship through letters until they are finally given the opportunity to meet at the border during the Israeli withdrawal from South Lebanon. When the intifada suddenly erupts around them, both girls face heart-breaking changes in their lives. As in Masri's earlier films, CHILDREN OF SHATILA (1998) and CHILDREN OF FIRE (1990), FRONTIERS OF DREAMS AND FEARS focuses on the difficult plight of Palestinian children while exhibiting an optimism that defies their unbearable circumstances. FRONTIERS OF DREAMS AND FEARS was produced in association with ITVS.
"Frontiers of Dreams and Fears exhibits an optimism that cuts through the cynicism of minds numbed by too much faceless violence on the evening news. Rather than despair, its emotional foundation is hope." --Jim Quilty, Daily Star, Lebanon
Institutional DVD copies also include Mai Masri's 1998 film, CHILDREN OF SHATILA.
