‘How often do you see Palestinian stories in fiction?’: the film-maker trying to adjust our focus

After a career making documentaries, Mahdi Fleifel has created To a Land Unknown, a feature film about the refugee experience

Palestinian stories, according to Mahdi Fleifel, are always “stranger than fiction” yet too often are told only in documentaries.
