20 minutes – Short, Experimental, Documentary
Language: Arabic, English Subtitles

Based on a poem by Khalil Al-Sakakini, a Palestinian Orthodox Christian teacher, scholar, poet, and Arab nationalist, The Poem We Sang is a 20-minute, colour and black and white, experimental documentary that meditates on love and longing – the love of one’s family and the longing for one’s home, contemplated through overcoming the trauma of loss of family home and of forced migration, transforming lifelong regrets into a healing journey of creative catharsis and bearing witness. It was selected to screen in the Home Grown Shorts programme at the 2024 Toronto Palestine Film Festival.
