SAMT

Ashtar, a young Jordanian woman from a small town outside Amman who seeks greater personal and cultural freedom from a traditional family, wants to attend a youth conference in Petra. Her more conservative brother, Jihad, is opposed even though their father seems the most progressive of the three. As Jihad starts to change his mind, it is discovered that Ashtar received her father's permission by saying it was an all-girl event. Truth wrestles with a lie. Neither tradition nor modernity sanctions deceit. What must Ashtar do? [Direct Action World Cinema created with the Queen Zein Al Sharaf Institute for Development (ZENID) and Farah Daghistani.]
