This week, Rainbow theatre is screening Annemarie Jacir’s award-winning film “When I Saw You”. The film tells the story of a Palestinian mother and her 11-year-old son who are forced to flee to Jordan and settle in a refugee camp in the aftermath of the 1967 war. Indiewire described it as “One of the best works to come out of the current explosion in filmmaking in the Middle East!”, while the Huffington Post described it as “beautiful, groundbreaking, and deeply, deeply moving.”
