Susya, is a 2011 Palestinian movie, directed by Dani Rosenberg and Yoav Gross. with a runtime of 15 minutes.
Susya is a Palestinian documentary that follows a father and son returning to their village for the first time in twenty-five years. What they find is a place transformed: their ancestral home is now an Israeli archaeological site preserving ruins of Jewish buildings from the Roman era, and they must purchase an entrance ticket to walk the land where they once lived. As the two men wander through a place that is both intimately familiar and utterly changed, young Israeli soldiers watch their every step. The film captures this loaded encounter with quiet precision, using a single return visit to illuminate the dispossession and disorientation that define Palestinian life under occupation.
