The Match Factory Boards Palestinian Family Saga ‘All That’s Left of You’ From ‘Amreeka,’ ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Director Cherien Dabis
The family saga stars Dabis herself along real life Palestinian acting dynasty Mohammad, Saleh and Adam Bakri.
An acclaimed filmmaker and actor, Dabis stars as well, anchoring the film as a devastated mother to a teenaged son injured by an Israeli soldier. Dabis and crew would eventually shoot the full film in Cyprus, while the whole fraught situation inspired filmmaker Bilal Alkhatib’s documentary, “Unmaking Of.” An in-demand TV helmer with credits on “Only Murders in the Building,” “Ramy” and “Ozark,” the Palestinian-American auteur broke out with her first feature, “Amreeka.” Dabis’ debut won raves at the Sundance Film Festival and picked up a Fipresci prize out of Cannes.
