âFood is the most precious part of Palestinian heritage.â Aisha Azzam and her husband started their family grain mill in Baqaâa refugee camp, Jordan, 35 years ago. She treasures her role in safeguarding culture by milling the wheat, grains, and herbs essential to Palestinian cuisine. Through food, Aisha traces the story of Palestinian displacement and rebuilding family and community in a refugee camp. Harvesting, milling, cooking, and feasts ground the filmâs arc of displacement, longing, and resistance. In Aishaâs words, âFood is what keeps us together as Palestinians.â Aishaâs Story intimately captures the loss, beauty, and steadfastness that define Palestinian lives.
