A Grain of Sand

Adapted from A Million Kites: Testimonies and Poems from the Children of Gaza by Leila Boukarim and Asaf Luzon Renad, a young Gazan girl, embarks on a dangerous journey. Carrying only the echoes of her grandmother?s tales and the spark of her own imagination, she searches for her family and the ?Anqaa? - the mythical Palestinian Phoenix. A Grain of Sand is a one-woman show that takes an intimate look at war through the eyes of a child, blending Palestinian folklore with real-life testimonies from children in contemporary Gaza. Renad?s story is one of resilience, hope and the right of children to be children.
