Storyline Intro:
Soraya is a woman in trouble, from the very start of Salt of This Sea. A Brooklyn-born Palestinian-American, she arrives in the land of her ancestors and is immediately subjected to distrust, interrogation and an invasive search. She may carry a U.S. passport, but with her Arabic last name, her Lebanon-born parents and her stated intention to stay with a friend in Ramallah, she's Palestinian to questioning her — "for your own security" — and she's a potential threat. Her defiant attitude during the process does her no favors.
This is a pattern that's repeated throughout the film: Soraya (played by Suheir Hammad) feels rage at the injustices she witnesses and experiences, but makes things more difficult through an inability to contain her passions or choose her battles.
So she argues with airport security. She argues with the bank where her grandfather had an account before the Israeli occupation, when they tell her the relatively small amount of money he left in there has been gone for decades. She argues with Emad (Saleh Bakri) and Marwan (Riyad Ideis), the new friends who are, much to her consternation, just as eager (and unable) to leave their homeland as she is to stay there. Watch out the rest....
