The artist, Sarah Grace Harris investigates how we approach documenting - whether it be a life, an object, an event or our memories. What does it mean to document something? How many different ways are there to document? Why do we feel the need to document?
Using her own family’s ephemera as a resource Sarah explores these questions and in the process seek to decide ‘what will remain’.

Spending time at the Mar Elias Educational Institution, a multi-faith school and college for Arab, Jewish, Christian, Druze and Muslim students and staff, originally founded by Nobel Peace Prize nominee Father Abuna Chacour, a Palestinian Christian Priest, who has worked tirelessly for peace.
This film was made as a reaction to who and what the team discovered in their time there. Young people who laughed, cried and had hopes and dreams just like us.
The film was made with kind support and assistance from UK Charity The Elijah Trust, and also The British Council Millennium Awards Scheme.
