THURS, 9/24 join FPN for a Film Screening of Three Promises and a community discussion.

In Three Promises, Yousef Srouji tell the story of his mother and her camera, of himself and his suppressed memories, and of an entire country. The films takes place in the early 2000s, during the Zionist assault on the West Bank at the start of the Second Intifada.

His mother, Suha, films her daily family life, punctuated by frequent trips underground and overwhelmed by the anguish of her two young children. At every moment of intense danger, she promises God that she will leave if they survive. In 2017, her son, the director of this film, discovers this archive and reconnects with this suppressed past, wondering with his mother what drove her to record a daily life of suffering, a stolen childhood, and why she delayed fleeing, paralyzed by the hope for change and burdened by the impossible choice between physical safety and emotional upheaval.
