- Summary:
- Food is the most precious part of Palestinian heritage." Aisha Azzam and her husband started their family grain mill in Baqa'a refugee camp, Jordan, 35 years ago. She treasures her role in safeguarding culture by milling the grains and herbs essential to Palestinian cuisine. Through food, Aisha traces the story of Palestinian displacement and rebuilding family and community in a refugee camp. Harvesting, milling, cooking, and feasts ground the film's arc of displacement, longing, steadfastness and resistance. In Aisha's words, "Food is what keeps us together as Palestinians. '
