In late 2005, 12-year-old Ahmed Khatib was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers inside the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank. Ahmed's father Ismael made an extraordinary decision, despite his grief, to donate his son's organs to several Israeli children who come from diverse family backgrounds of Orthodox Jewish, Druze and Bedouin. A collaboration between directors from Israel and Germany, The Heart of Jenin follows Ismael from the time of this son’s death through to his journey into Israel, over a year later, to meet the children whose lives he helped save.
