You Come From Far Away tells the extraordinary story of a Palestinian family dispersed by turmoil of the 20th century. From the Spanish Civil War, in which their father, Najati Sidki, fought against Franco and fascism, to World War II, the Nakba and Lebanese Civil War, director Amal Ramsis's family was dispersed to Spain, Russia, Brazil, and other places around the world. But what we see through their incredible story of distance and upheaval, is the importance of the most human of all bonds: family love.
