Yesterday, Wednesday, the "Palestine Committee" of the Jordanian House of Representatives condemned the abuse of prisoners in Israeli prisons through the movie "Princess", considering that it "changes the real reality."
This came in a statement by the head of the committee, MP Muhammad Al-Zahrawi, of which Anatolia received a copy.
Al-Zahrawi called for banning the film from showing in Jordanian cinemas, calling on production institutions to produce films that support the rights of Palestinian prisoners in their struggle behind bars, and not distort facts and serve the "Zionist occupier."
The committee saluted the steadfastness of the prisoners and their sacrifices, calling for "providing support and support to them in various fields, and holding solidarity events with them in response to the film Amira."
On November 12, Jordan chose the movie "Princess" to represent it in the 94th Academy Awards to compete in the 2022 international feature film category, whose awards will be announced next March.
According to institutions concerned with prisoners’ affairs, the film questions the lineage of the children of prisoners inside Israeli prisons, who were born through “smuggled sperm” to their parents, which the Palestinians described as “a fantasy aimed at achieving artistic gains at the expense of the prisoners’ sacrifices.”
The film sheds light on the story of a girl named "Amira", who was born through smuggled sperm to her father, who is in the Israeli "Megiddo" prison, only to be surprised at a later time that this sperm belongs to an Israeli officer responsible for smuggling from inside the prison, who replaced the sample before handing it over to the family.
And "Amira" was filmed completely in Jordan in 2019, and it is directed by Egyptian director Mohamed Diab, and it is co-produced by Jordan, Egypt and Palestine.
