synopsis
TThe Heart of Jenin is the story of Ahmed Khatib, a Palestinian boy from the Refugee Camp of Jenin, who was shot by the Israeli Army. Despite his grief, his father Ismael decides to donate his son's organs to six Israeli children and save their lives.
Three years later, Ismael travels from Jenin to the northern hills on the Lebanese border, passing through the Holy City of Jerusalem, down to the edge of the Negev Desert in the south of the land visiting those children. The film is a journey throughout Israel which not only leads to the recipient families, but also attempts to reconstruct the events that took place in Jenin in 2005.
