Film: Muhi – Generally Temporary

Human Rights Watch Film Festival 2018

Muhi, a young boy from Gaza, has been trapped in an Israeli hospital for over eight years. Rushed there in his infancy with a life-threatening immune disorder, he and his doting grandfather, Abu Naim, are caught in an immigration limbo and only permitted to reside within the constraints of the hospital walls.

Made by two filmmakers from Jerusalem, Muhi – Generally Temporary lays out the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in human terms, documenting the impact these paradoxical circumstances have on individual lives.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Rina Castelnuovo-Hollander
