Mai Masri : 2015
3000 Nights
Layal, a newly-wed Palestinian schoolteacher is falsely accused and incarcerated in an Israeli prison where she discovers that she is pregnant. Terrified and alone, after Layal gives birth to a baby boy, the chief warden threatens to take her baby away unless she agrees to inform on her fellow inmates who are planning a revolt against the prison administration. Through her struggle to protect her child and her relationship with the prisoners around her, she finds the strength to stand up for herself and fight for her son. Documentary filmmaker Mai Masri's feature debut premiered at Toronto International Film Festival 2015.
