Lyd
Lyd
Directed by Rami Younis and Sarah Ema Friedland
This feature-length, sci-fi documentary guides the viewer through the lifespan of a five-thousand-year-old city and its residents. When the State of Israel was founded in 1948, Lyd became an Israeli city. For Palestinians, Lyd’s story is a painful and tragic fall from grace, which is why our film dares to ask the question: What would the city be like had the Israeli occupation of Lyd never happened?
