Help Bring a Palestinian Story to Life: “Like The Tide”

Help Us Bring Like The Tide to Life!

Hi, I'm Iman Karram, a Palestinian American filmmaker, and I'm raising funds to bring Like The Tide—a deeply personal and urgent short film—to life. We are set to begin filming this April, and we need your support to make it happen.

We are fiscally sponsored by the Arab Film and Media Institute, which means all donations are tax-deductible. Your contribution will go directly toward making this film possible.

At its heart, Like The Tide is a story about connection, identity, and resilience. It follows Yara, a Palestinian American writer in Los Angeles, and Hana, a 27-year-old woman from Gaza, as their friendship unfolds through online Arabic lessons. As their bond deepens, Yara embarks on a profound journey of self-discovery, drawing strength from Hana's resilience and unwavering spirit. Along the way, Yara reconnects with her cultural roots and finds her own voice.

This is not a political film—it is a story about humanity, resilience, and the power of friendship across borders. It reflects the lived experiences of many displaced Palestinians while focusing on the personal, intimate connections that transcend geography. With all that is happening in Gaza today, the voices of Palestinian women are more vital than ever.
