I Am from there... A poetic film about resilience
A poetic, humanist film about teenagers who rebuild themselves through the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish.
— Mahmoud Darwish
"I am from there. I am from here.
I am not there and I am not here.
I have two names which meet and part…
I have a language. I do not know which.
For me to write poetry, I belong to this."
01 — The Film
What survives
the noise.
This film is not political. It takes no sides. It seeks no controversy. It is about resilience, about dignity, about the power of words when everything feels fragile.
Through their voices, their poems, and their silences, these young people show us how art can become a refuge — and how poetry can help rebuild an inner world when the outside one trembles.
"How do we continue to grow when the world around us trembles?"
