By using images drawn by Palestinian children between the ages of 9 and 12, Drawing for Better Dreams takes us to the Occupied Territories and into the minds of the kids who live there under siege. By animating the simple crayon drawings, this moving film conjures up the struggles faced by Palestinian children on a daily basis, and demonstrates the power of and need for allowing young people to dream.
