If you missed this at the Palestinian Film Festival in Sydney last year, here’s an encore screening.
A young boy in Gaza, Mohammad Assaf, dreams of one day singing in the Cairo Opera House with his sister and best friend, Farrah. One day, Farrah collapses and is rushed to the hospital where it is discovered that she needs a kidney transplant. Farrah leaves Mohammad with a dying wish that someday, he will sing in Cairo. Escaping from Gaza to Egypt against unbelievable odds, Assaf makes the journey of a lifetime. From two-time Academy Award nominee Hany Abu-Assad, comes this inspirational drama based on the incredible true story of Mohammad Assaf, winner of Arab Idol 2013.
This is a FanForce screening, so booking ahead is encouraged
