From Academy Award nominated director Julian Schnabel ("The Diving Bell and the Butterfly") comes the story of four women whose lives intertwine in a starkly human search for justice, hope and reconciliation amid a world overshadowed by conflict, rage and violence. The story begins in war-torn Jerusalem in 1948, when Hind Husseini opens an orphanage that quickly becomes home to 2000 children, including Miral (Freida Pinto, of "Slumdog Millionaire"). On the eve of the Intifada, Miral goes off to teach at a refugee camp, where she falls in love with a political activist and finds herself facing a personal conflict: should she fight like those before her, or follow Hind's strongly-held belief that education is the path to peace? Schnabel, the world-famous artist turned hugely successful director, here provides a strong portrayal of the Palestinian Nakbah.
