Samidoun: The Steadfast Women of Palestine

Samidoun: The Steadfast Women of Palestine is a powerful short documentary spotlighting the resilience, strength, and agency of Palestinian women navigating life under occupation and patriarchal pressures. Through personal stories and lived experiences of Reema Abu Aita, Asma Nayfeh, Kefaya Khreim, Halimah Zawaideh, Diala Ayesh, Aya Al Turk, Sama Nejm and Sherine Zedan the film amplifies the voices of women who persist and resist—refusing to be silenced despite systemic violence and daily hardship. Their defiance, dignity, and determination serve as a testament to steadfastness in the face of injustice. The film was commissioned by Nobel Women’s Initiative and made by Mariam Shahin, Maysara Films.
