High Roads is a journey through the practices of four women who use their bodies, breath, and minds as tools for everyday resistance to military occupation.
Filmed between Palestine and Barcelona, High Roads dialogues with particle physicist Dr. Wafaa Khater, Olympian swimmer Sabine Hazboun, marathon-runner Diala Isid and yoga instructor Eilda Zaghmout: four women who generate well-being and wonder, betting on action and astonishment, in defiance of a relentless oppression.
