SAMAH DAMANHOORI
RECONNECTING WITH OUR CAPACITY FOR UNDERSTANDING AND FORGIVENESS
I believe that stories have an almost mystical ability to connect us , both to each other and to the parts of ourselves we may have neglected or suppressed .
Samah Damanhoori is an award-winning activist , storyteller , and visionary content creator dedicated to championing social justice and inclusive narratives . As the founder of Madina Papel , Samah has established a transformative production company that reimagines “ happily ever afters ” for the modern world .
Her short film by the same name , Madina Papel ( Paper City ) s a story about seeing — truly seeing — one another . During Eid , a vibrant Ghufran returns to his starkly blackand-white home , only to face his father ’ s violent rejection — forcing him to choose between exile or confronting the rigid norms that threaten to erase him .
