The plight of the Palestinians is well known. Most are confined to enclaves within Israel which are deprived of freedoms and rights that many of us take for granted. Ad Deirat is a real village suffering many real difficulties in order to survive.

There really is a place above the village visited by lorries into which the rubbish from thriving Israeli towns and villages is dumped. There really is a check point guarded by Israeli soldiers who prevent people leaving the area without good cause.

However, in Ad Deirat weddings still take place. People still work the land; and the people maintain their traditions and beliefs as far as they are able. Some more than others.

But for women in such a confined restricted space there can be other difficulties. It is not just the poverty that they have to contend with, but also the dictates of men in the village council, and also the strictures born from both faith and superstition.

Marfud, a young Palestinian girl hopes to find a most unusual route out of Ad Deirat, one that I doubt you or I would ever lightly undertake. Will she succeed? Or are the odds stacked against her? Will she be the one to make things better for her people. Will she be the dawn of hope?
