Will Julian Schnabel's 'Miral' be this generation’s Exodus?


Julian Schnabel's Miral - Trailer. Stars Freida Pinto, Willam Dafoe, Hiam Abbass and Vanessa Redgrave.

Based on the novel by Rula Jebreal, the movie revolves around a real-life orphanage established by a Palestinian woman (Abbass) following the 1948 creation of the Israeli state. (Pinto) was sent to the orphanage in 1978. When, later in life, she goes to teach at a refugee camp and falls for an activist, Miral is torn between resistance and education as separate paths to political change.
