Mayor [videorecording] / Film Movement presents a Rosewater Pictures and Rise Films production ; produced and directed by David Osit.

Osit, David, (film director,, film producer,, cinematographer.). Film Movement (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary:

It is a real-life political saga following Musa Hadid, the Christian mayor of Ramallah, during his second term in office. His immediate goals: repave the sidewalks, attract more tourism, and plan the city's Christmas celebrations. His ultimate mission: to end the occupation of Palestine. Rich with detailed observation and a surprising amount of humor, the show offers a portrait of dignity amidst the madness and absurdity of endless occupation while posing a question: how does one run a city when they don't have a country?
