Out Of ItGaza is being bombed. Rashid wakes to discover he’s got a scholarship to London,
the escape route he’s been waiting for. Meanwhile, his twin sister, Iman, frustrated
by the atrocities and inaction around her, grabs recklessly at an opportunity to
make a difference. Sabri, the oldest brother works on a history of Palestine from his wheelchair as their mother pickles vegetables and feuds with their neighbours.

Out of It follows Rashid and Iman as they try to forge places for themselves in the midst of occupation, religious fundamentalism and the divisions between Palestinian factions. It tells of family secrets, unlikely love stories and unburied tragedies as it captures the frustrations and energies of the modern Arab World.
