“Your humanity is also resistance.” Watermelon Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for All That’s Left Of You, made by filmmaker Cherien Dabis, telling a powerful multi-generational story of a Palestinian family living in the West Bank. This premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year (where I saw it) and also played at the Karlovy Vary, Telluride, Zurich, and Hamptons Film Festivals.
