Fadia’s Tree
While millions of birds migrate freely in the skies above, Fadia, a Palestinian refugee stranded in Lebanon, yearns for the ancestral homeland she is denied. When a chance meeting introduces her to the director, Sarah, she challenges her to find an ancient mulberry tree that once grew next to her grandfather’s house in historic Palestine, a tree that stands witness to her family’s existence.

An action-packed slog
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
