Home Front: Portraits from Sheikh Jarrah

In the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah, Palestinian families are being pushed out of their homes to make way for settlers. Home Front follows the campaign against these takeovers through four people involved in it.

A Palestinian teenager is forced to share his family house with settlers. A Palestinian community organiser brings local women to the front of the protests. An American-born mother is drawn into the demonstrations after her children are arrested, and a former Israeli soldier becomes one of the campaign’s leaders.

Made by Just Vision, the team behind Budrus, the film shows the resolve of a neighbourhood that refuses to be erased, years before Sheikh Jarrah made headlines around the world in 2021.
