Stallions of Palestine

For many Palestinians, Arabian horses are a living symbol of their culture’s resilience; they are “art mixed with history.” In this film, a young Palestinian breeder named Abdel Naser Musleh and his family navigate the difficulties of raising these delicate animals in the West Bank—where access to vets and training facilities always seems to be a checkpoint away.
