Open Bethlehem

I have not seen Open Bethlehem, but if the reviews are anything to go by then it seems to be one of those films/documentaries that should not be missed. Bethlehem is an iconic town that represents Joy and Goodwill to all.

Shot over five years the film captures the city of Bethlehem as it has never been seen before. This is an emotional journey of one woman’s fight for her hometown. Leila Sanosur films this as a dedication to her late father who was the founder of Bethlehem university. And the her wanting to leave is something that has come to haunt her. Bethlehem is soon to be encircled by a wall and Leila is documenting this as it happens. A truly heart-breaking situation.

100 most powerful women in the Arab world

I write this with great pride an pleasure to have so many wonderful women in the Arab world who are making a difference in every different aspect of the market.

I have been noticing that the media has been focusing a lot on positive news about Arabs and Muslims. Not the mainstream ones necessarily but the ones that I read.

This is a great list to be part of and 5 out of 100 are from Palestine. AMAZING!

Teach them from when they are young to be strong successful women of our future generations!
