We will screen the documentary film, The Mulberry House, followed by a Skype Q+A with the filmmaker, Sara Ishaq.
The Mulberry House
Sara grew up in Yemen to a Yemeni father and a Scottish mother, and at age 17, finally decided to move to Scotland. Ten years later – 2011 – Sara returns to Yemen as a different person, geared up to face the home of her past and reconnect with her long-severed roots. But against all personal expectations, she returns to find her family and country teetering on the brink of a revolution.
