Akram al Ashqar - 2006 docu 27 min. Arabic

Nour was born in Israel's Telmond prison, where his mother, Manal Ghanem
from Tulkarm refugee camp, was being held. He lived for more than two and a
half years with his mother in the prison before being separated from her
while she remained in detention. The film joins Nour on his "release" and
follows his first encounter with life outside an Israeli security prison.
This beautifully composed debut documentary from Akram Al Ashqar, speaks of
confusion and curiosity as Nour assimilates to a world populated not only
by women, and where not all doors remain closed. Interviews with family
members and friends provide a glimpse of his life inside the prison and
reveal perhaps the most difficult aspect of all the fact that Nour misses
the place where he was born: his mother's cell which represented his only
"world".
