This book covers Mai Masri’s three decades documenting iconic moments of Palestinian and Lebanese linked history. Her films, unique for giving agency to her subjects, tell much about the untold, unseen people, namely women and children, who lived these experiences of war and occupation. Former Lebanese political prisoner Soha Bechara praised her feature film
3000 Nights as “the ‘Lest we forget’ of Palestine.’ Her focus on the social and political climates of the vivid lives of unseen people connects to the deepening violence in Palestine today.
