The Bride and the Dowry is one of the first documented testimonies from Palestinian civilians and Mayors, and shows the daily struggles of surviving under the constant threat of settler violence.  

The examples in the film feel very contemporary and resonate with what we continue to see on our television screens from the West Bank.

The director, Ibrahim Abu Nab, born in Jerusalem in 1931, was a renowned Palestinian editor, journalist, filmmaker, and poet. In 1965 he established the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Media Department.
