JOUD

A life told in crossings — of borders, of bodies, of time.

JOUD is a feature documentary in development by Diana El Jeiroudi.

The film follows Joud Hasan — an award-winning German-Palestinian-Syrian journalist approaching 40 — as he moves between Berlin, Beirut, and Damascus in pursuit of recognition, family, and belonging.
