Overview
The story of the Druze community in the Golan Heights—conquered in 1967 and annexed by Israel in 1981—is told through two characters from Majdal Shams: 19-year-old Aya, who dreams of joining Israel’s national hockey team and is willing to accept Israeli citizenship to achieve her goal, and her older uncle Ayoub, a journalist and farmer who identifies as Syrian and firmly rejects Israeli citizenship. Filmed overthe course of three years, the documentary explores the deep identity crisis of a lost community striving for a peaceful life on its ancestral land while caught in the grip of a turbulent fate.
