A journey full of adventure, love and humor about a young Palestinian boy
Jordan, 1967. Tarek (11) and his mother Ghaydaa are in a refugee camp, separated from Tarek’s father and hoping against hope that he will one day turn up. When I Saw You is the story of people affected by the times around them, in search of something more in their lives.
They are living in a kind of eternally deferred state in this grim camp: their lives are on hold in emotional exile and it is miserable. Despite, or because of, being smart, Tarek doesn’t do well in the makeshift schoolroom – and runs away, finding himself in a guerrilla training camp, where he is taken up as a mascot, and sees a future for himself as a fighter.
The tickets for this screening are free.

As international news outlets, world leaders, and major social media platforms continue to censor and distort the narrative while fueling the dehumanization of Palestinians and their ongoing suffering, we are using our channels to support the forcibly canceled Palestine Cinema Days Festival.
On November 2, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, we are organizing over 500 Palestinian film screenings around the world. This global effort is a show of solidarity with Palestine, an act of amplification for censored Palestinian voices, and a contribution to shifting the distorted narrative.
