Translating as “rising in the east”, Shuruuk follows a dreamlike, diaristic journey from Japan to Tunisia; from Palestine to France. Amie Barouh’s intimate, roving camera bears witness to the flow of life and movement from East to West. Five years of documentation form an impressionistic, beautifully honest portrait of diasporic and immigrant communities, and an ode to the resilience of people living life in exile.
