A Bedouin Dream
When nine-year-old Isra and her family are evicted without having anywhere else to stay, her dream of camping in the desert like her Bedouin ancestors inspires her father and they end up living in a tent in a nearby wood. Isra is delighted but, when they have to leave suddenly, her idyll is shattered. Luckily, her mother has a plan to resurrect her Bedouin dream.
[Tom Johnson, Director]
Inspired by the social challenges being faced by many in 21st-century Ireland, I wanted to tell a story of imagination, belonging, and the true meaning of home.
