Abla (2023) is a quietly powerful documentary that digs deep into the life of a Palestinian refugee woman navigating her fifties. It’s set against the backdrop of water-scarce Jordan, and the film really shines in its exploration of resilience and hope. The pacing is contemplative, letting us absorb her journey as a compost expert and trainer. You can sense the weight of her dreams, the way she envisions a naturally generative land amidst hardship. The cinematography offers a raw, earthy feel that complements her story well. It feels intimate; you’re not just observing her life but almost living it with her. There’s a distinct authenticity in her struggles and triumphs that resonates throughout.
