‘What’s Your Story – Part I' is the first film in a trilogy. It is a reflection from the perspective of an Arab-Palestinian-Israeli citizen who travels across the country and watches the stories and images of the people and spaces he encounters.
Jamal, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, meets five young Israelis with differing ideological perspectives. Through conversations about a variety of topics, they define their identities and express how they see themselves. They explore their identities at a deeper level than the simplistic image of Israeli as executioner, attempting to find the person within the political persona. From this point, their discussion moves to ways of giving space for the ‘Other’ to exist without delegitimising their own existence.
