Ibn El Ballad

2023 MENA Canada Filmmaking Grant-winning film. Screened at MENA 5 as a work in progress preview.
Synopsis:

Firas, a Jordanian-Lebanese nine-year-old visits Jordan for the first time in nine years to renew his passport. After constantly feeling like a stranger in Lebanon, (where he lived all his life) he is convinced that he'd finally feel at home in Jordan. Through a series of dramatic events, it becomes clear that the two neighboring countries are worlds apart. Determined to fit in, Firas must go to extreme lengths to prove that he can finally belong.
