RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Ramallah - 08 December 2021. Abd al-Salam al-Atari, Director of the Department of Literature at the Ministry of Culture speaks during an interview about Amira movie. STORYLINE: Amira, a 17 year old Palestinian, was conceived with the smuggled sperm of her imprisoned father, Nawar. Although their relationship since birth has been restricted to prison visits, he remains her hero. His absence in her life is overcompensated with love and affection from those surrounding her. Conceived from the smuggled sperm of her incarcerated father (a freedom fighter), Palestinian teenager Amira enjoys the status of being the “daughter of a hero”. All this changes when, following a failed attempt to conceive a second child through the same means, it is revealed that her father is, in fact, infertile. The film received angry reactions from the Palestinians, especially as it concerns a sensitive issue related to prisoners in Israeli jails. Footage by APAwire
