Dinar

Moawea Al Omari | 2023 | Jordan | 12 min | Arabic, Sub: English | 13+

Hadeel, a young Palestinian refugee living in the El Hosn refugee camp in Jordan, wakes up every morning to explore the surroundings with her small cart. Her objective is clear and resolute: to collect recyclable waste, sell it, and earn her daily dinar. This dinar is precious to her because it is intended for a specific purpose that is close to her heart. Moawea Al Omari, a Jordan filmmaker, wrote and directed “Dinar” during the "Short Narrative Film Production" workshop, which was supervised by Algerian director Professor Salah Issaad and organized by the RFC Jordan—Irbid Film Center.
