Farha

Sallam's first film as director Farha tells the story of a girl caught in the raids of a Palestinian village during the Nakba.[4] Sallam started writing the film in 2016 but faced great pushback, including warnings that the film would end her career. Farha is based on the story on a surviving Palestinian woman who fled to Syria and recounted her ordeal to Sallam's mother. The film has been streamed on Netflix generating a condemnation by the Israeli government.[5]
