Hanan Ashrawi:
A Woman of Her Time
Mai Masri
In the stormy
aftermath of the peace accord signed between
Israel and the PLO, Palestinian spokeswoman
Hanan Ashrawi emerged as a formidable negotiator
and a persuasive voice on the international
stage. But beyond the polished rhetoric
and the public poise, what drives the 47-year-old
mother of two whose high profile and personal
integrity have made her enemies as well
as friends?
In this very
personal portrait, Palestinian director
Mai Masri profiles Ashrawi, exploring how
she manages to juggle her responsibilities
as political activist, writer and mother
- against the backdrop of challenges facing
the Palestinians in the struggle to build
a viable state.
