Inch' Allah 求主垂怜

Canada/France

Director: Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette

Inch' Allah is Canadian director Anais Barbeau-Lavalette's shortlisted film, set against the background of the Isreali-Palistinian conflict, revealing the enormous hurt suffered by innocent people in the war. The story is of a Canadian doctor named Chloé who often crosses the Israeli-Palistinian border to carry out her work. She gets to know some female soldiers on the Palestinian side of the border, and becomes good friends with an Isreali family. One day, a heavily pregant woman in a friend's household finds she is going into labour, but because of a border conflict, she fails to get to the hospital on time, causing her baby to die. In the end, the inconsoleable young woman decides to take the extreme measure of ending her own life.
