Abortion in the Holy Land

Abortions in Israel of 2024 are still controlled by the political establishment, and women don't have control over their bodies. The Jewish womb is a national-demographic one, serving the growth of the Jewish population in the Holy Land. Through personal stories, surprising archives, and revealing documents, the misogynistic and discriminatory attitude towards women's decisions about their bodies and future is exposed.

Grounded

Traditional cuisine is much more than just food—it is a living expression of identity, memories, and heritage. Its ingredients are rooted in the land's geography and seasons, while its flavors reflect its conflicts and politics. Palestinian cuisine carries within it a blend of popular, personal, and feminine history; it intertwines with the narrative found in books, adds depth to it, and brings it to life. Cook and culinary historian Muzna Bishara embarks on an eight-chapter journey, one that also explores a vanishing generation of women who preserve the memory of rural cooking. Each chapter focuses on a key ingredient or raw material, its region of cultivation, its season, and a local family who works with it. Olives, sumac, akoub, and eggplants are among the foundational elements that shape the flavor of the land—stories that Muzna seeks to uncover, offering a new way to touch the tragic history of her people.
