Trade to improve working conditions. The Rana Plaza was a large textile factory for clothing, and on April 24, 2013, it collapsed. In the film Fashion Victims it states, “The Rana Plaza building rubble buried thousands; over 1000 died, over 100 had limbs amputated” (Fashion Victims).

More than a year has passed since the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh. Not a lot has changed in Canada — despite the huge public outcry in its immediate aftermath.

the couple of Emad and Rana relocate to a small flat recommended by Babak, a fellow actor in their theatrical adaptation of Arthur Miller’s, “Death of a Salesman”.

When Emad stays late for a rehearsal, Rana returns home to wait for him and then, the unspeakable happens… Waiting for Emad, Rana unwisely opens up the

At the beginning of the film, The Time That Remains, the history and trauma are portrayed through the eyes of the character Fuad who is Elia’s father.

According to Joseph Massad, “Elia Suleiman has shown more interest in a satirical imaging of Israeli militarism, which if it did not have such violent consequences

Siding for creation, Rana obviously believes that biochemistry could only be present from a creator, namely

In fact, for an extended time, face-to-face communication was the only method ever used. As the time passed many new methods of communication came along with the use of telephone calls, emails and letters.
