“The words “Israeli-Palestinian conflict” are often wielded broadly, in ways that ignore its impact on daily lives. Anyone unfamiliar with the results of this division on a human level would benefit from watching Muhi: Generally Temporary, a powerful look at a young child trapped between two sides of a battle that has nothing to do with him.” (IndieWire)

When he was a baby in Gaza, where the health-care system is shattered, Muhi was taken to an Israeli hospital because of a serious autoimmune disease—and seven years later, he has never been able to go home. Muhi and his grandfather, who stays with him, are extraordinary souls, brave and spirited and filled with life. The filmmakers closely follow the major moments in their lives, which naturally reveal the madness of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as Muhi is being cared for by the very same people whose government makes it almost impossible for his family to visit. But Muhi seldom lets things get him down, capturing the hearts of Jews and Palestinians alike.
