THE TIME OF POMEGRANATES
1x90min Documentary (currently in Post-production)
Thirteen-year old Beta dreams of escaping a blood feud that has trapped in the mountains of Albania. Will her father’s bid to gain asylum in the UK enable her to begin a new life.
Filmed at different periods over eight years in Albania and London, THE TIME OF POMEGRANATES captures a family’s fracture as fear, doubt and paranoia about their future creep in. Against this, we watch as Beta becomes a woman determined to choose her own future.
A short early version of this film was commissioned by Al Jazeera English for ‘Witness’ and broadcast as ‘Sisters of the Blood Feud’.
