Critic Reviews

Grounded in the art of listening, The Ruins of Lifta builds a powerful, personal, political conversation between Palestinians and Israelis looking to live differently.

An achingly poignant documentary.

Directors Menachem Daum and Oren Rudavsky may not solve Israeli-Palestinian animosities, but they find illuminating angles of exploration for one of the world’s most intractable conflicts.

Daum acts as a thoughtful onscreen guide to what the picturesque hillsides and its stone remains represent.
