A family-run business, opened in Hebron in 1961, the Hirbawi textile factory exists as Palestine’s last remaining weavery still producing the traditional Palestinian kuffiyeh. With daily operations handled by brothers Izzat, Abdullah and Jouda – the three sons of founder Hajj Yasser – continuing the kuffiyeh’s production on home soil is a cause of deep significance, motivated by respect for the scarf as a national symbol inextricably linked to the Palestinian people. Directed by Mariam Dwedar.
