Three Women. Three Faiths. One Search for Justice.
Mourning in Lod takes a microcosmic look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through Musa, Yigal, and Randa—three people whose fates become inextricably linked in a vicious cycle of violence. Lod/Lydd is a “mixed” city inhabited by Arabs and Jews who live side by side in a strained co-existence.
In May 2021, two of these three people lost their lives, and one regained hers – thanks to an unlikely organ transplant. The outpouring of love, anger, forgiveness and sorrow that follows in their wake is a ray of light that offsets a collective state of mourning with no end in sight.
