This is Not Living explores the lives of eight Palestinian women and their struggle to live normal lives amidst the degrading drama of war. Representing a diverse cross-section of Palestinian society they candidly speak about their daily encounters with violence and their marginalization in the ideological debate concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Their stories challenge stereotypes of Palestinian women in the media and provide a much-needed window into an experience rarely seen in the West.
Alia Arasoughy is filmmaker, curator, film theorist and sociologist of culture based in Ramallah, Palestine. She served as a Media Supervising Consultant for the United Nations Development Program in Palestine for two years and now holds the same post with Palestine Initiative for Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy. Under MIFTA on the United Nations Development Fund for Women she developed the project Empowerment of Palestinian Women Leadership.
