The father has many variables to consider. While he struggles with his decision to try to save the familyâs property, he also struggles with his sonâs and daughterâs desire to resist the soldiers. The family must also face the very real possibility that the fatherâs decision will result in profound lossâof both property and life. By staying, they risk their lives. If they resist, they risk their lives. If they leave, they will be refugees and will lose everything the family has worked for. There is only the slimmest of possibilities that they will be left alone once the soldiers leave. The requisition of the house becomes an analogy for co-existence. The video itself is no cinematic wonder, but the story is important, perfectly believable. This video is recommended for high school, college, and university collections in Middle Eastern Studies.
