"Where We Are"... From Cairo to Rotterdam

The film "Where We Are" premiered at the 2024 Cairo International Film Festival in the Horizons of Arab Cinema competition, and then participated in the Carthage Film Festival and several other international festivals, reflecting the strength of its artistic and human impact.

A Palestinian humanitarian story in the heart of war

The film tells the story of Nadine, a young Palestinian woman from Gaza who arrived in Egypt with her twin daughters months after the outbreak of war. Through the film, Dora recounts Nadine and her family's journey of displacement, shedding light on the personal and human suffering experienced by Palestinian refugees, beyond the political or statistical aspects.

Despite her busy schedules as a director and producer, Dorra continues to work as an actress. Her most recent film appearance was in the Tunisian film "Sahebak Ragel," which was released in late 2024. She is also awaiting the release of "Al Set Lama," alongside Yousra.

A remarkable Arab female presence in cinema

Dorra's participation in the Rotterdam Film Festival represents a new step toward empowering Arab women in the film industry, showcasing her as a director and content creator who presents realistic experiences in an impactful artistic style, reflecting a true female voice in the Arab cinematic scene.
