He just finished watching Bab El Hara, he wasn’t in the mood to help his father in their humble store but he had to. In the hours of theearly mornings, after he had his Suhoor he lingered in the shop where rarely did someone came to buy anything, a car stops a young man asks for direction, Mohammed with his benevolent soul offers his help since he knew every nook and cranny in Shufat. The car stops, then another guy comes out, they force him into the car. He fought with all his might, like he used to do in school whenever he had a quarrel, but now it all went with no avail.
The car pulls fast, it doesn’t stop on the red light. It fades.

Mohammed never liked school, studying was a thing he wasn’t good at, he made his plans he will finish he will get a deploma ( just for the sake of his parents) then go to get a job probably in building or something profitable. He was very happy to finish with another year of school, he had just another year left and he will be free.
He longed for freedom.

Shufaat wakes up late, wakes up to receive a tragedy!

Anger fumes the young teens, they go out they rebel they scream and shout and throw stones with all the power they have.
The body still in a cold Israeli morgue.
Anger. Anger.
It’s Ramadan and people are not hungry, there’s no time. They’re fighting
fighting for dignity, for freedom, for Mohammed.
