Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Come see Ramallah on the big screen! Thank You For Banking is Laila Abbas’ intimate and darkly humorous family drama, where two sisters unite against patriarchal inheritance laws to reclaim money from their beloved father. A stark reminder that, in amongst the horrors of war, Palestinian women must always fight a battle on several fronts. "
