SUMMARY

Home paints intimate portraits of three young Palestinians living under Israeli occupation in East Jerusalem: Muna, 18, forcibly shares half of her house with Israeli settlers. Nayef, 26, can’t get a permit for his house and the Israeli authorities have demolished his animals’ barn. For both, merely building a future in East Jerusalem, where Israeli policies aim hard at Judaization, becomes an act of resistance. Omar, 25, has Israeli citizenship and so is free to leave East Jerusalem. He is tired of the occupation and is preparing to move to Jaffa, where prospects appear brighter to him.
