How it feels

This documentary follows three Palestinian women experiencing different forms of internal exile. One woman returns from an Israeli prison to face family rejection, another lives in a refugee camp relying on her faith, and a Christian woman moves to Gaza but feels like a stranger there. The film shows their perspectives as outsiders within their own society.
