Origin: Palestine Turtle Island | Documentary | Director: Rana Nazzal | 7 minutes

---

A short film on the substance of our original lands. Weaving between the voices of the artist’s parents, the film is personal, yet evokes a shared Palestinian experience. The “something from there” is never named, though it is at the heart of the narrative. Is it a piece of land? The soil? The remains of our ancestors? The distinction between land and body is not made, and rather, Something from there focuses on the power of memory and symbols to revive a denied homeland, defy official histories, and counter the settler colonial impetus to erase any assertion of Indigenous life.
