High Roads

Giuliana Racco aims to create a dialogue that transcends geographic borders, addressing universal issues of migration and challenging dominant narratives.

"High Roads" explores the practices of four women who use their bodies, their breath and their minds as tools of resistance against military occupation. Filmed between Palestine and Barcelona, the video dialogues with the physicist Dr. Wafaa Khater, the Olympic swimmer Sabine Hazboun, the marathon runner Diala Isid and the yoga instructor Eilda Zaghmout, women who generate a sense of well-being and wonder, challenging oppression and inspiring action. “High Roads” invites viewers to witness active practices of SUMUD (Arabic for steadfastness), encouraging reflection on the complexities of resistance in the midst of adversity.
