About Food and Fadwa
Having multiple generations of a family under one roof can be challenging, especially when dealing with a delayed wedding, a visit from an annoying expatriate cousin, the arrival of a former love, and a government-imposed five-day house arrest. This is what life in the occupied West Bank is like for the Faranesh family. Food and Fadwa offers a glimpse into the struggles of everyday life under a military occupation. Will the Faranesh family be able to endure as they have in the past? Or will the relentless pressure lead to their disintegration?
Food and Fadwa is set in a military occupation and deals with the sights and sounds of war. This production may not be suitable for children.
