We’re very excited that our 2019 documentary feature HURDLE will be screening at Cairo Photo Week, thanks to our friends over at Film My Design. Read more info below ⬇️ and check out Cairo Photo Week for more details!
About HURDLE: Living under military occupation, Palestinian youth respond to a world of walls, checkpoints and arrests in an unexpected and inspiring way. Hurdle ’s protagonists, Sami and Mohammad, begin teaching the creative practices of parkour and photography to the youth of their communities as a means to overcome the personal and political obstacles that often feel inescapable. Though these young men are separated by a wall, they are united in leading the next generation toward freedom and self-determination through creative practices.
With breathtaking visuals, intimate access and action-packed scenes, award-winning Hurdle provides audiences and critics alike with a fresh look at an old conflict. The next generation must decide what to do with the wars and walls they inherit and, ultimately, find ways to practice their freedom.
