THE YOUNG ALEXANDRIANS

Two young Alexandrians experience the Palestine/Israeli conflict in all its complexity from adolescence through to adulthood finally finding themselves as aid workers in the Gaza Strip on the eve of Nakba Day as Israel celebrates the announcement of US's intention to transfer their Embassy to Jerusalem. To Israelis the excitement cannot easily be put into words as it is the culmination of a fulfilment long sought after. To the countless Palestinian refugees in the Strip it results in intense anger and helplessness as it confirms the long-held suspicion that returning to their homeland is but a dream.
