Mohammad Malas, Al-Manam
- ( Back to T:TDYK )
- ( Article history links: Mohammad Malas
- Al-Manam )
- ... that in his documentary film al-Manam, Syrian filmmaker Mohammad Malas interviews Palestinian refugees in Lebanon about their dreams?
- Reviewed: Love Divine, Imagine
- Comment: It would be great if this could run on November 29, but I understand if it's way too last minute.

- The two "Reviewed" articles link to "Look Here (horse)", which were reviewed by a different user. Not sure what's going on with that.
- al-Manam: Article is new enough and long enough.
- Lede's mention of the Sabra and Shatila massacre is abrupt but appropriate given later sources. Are these the only Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon? If not, it makes sense to specify that the film was shot there.
- Hook facts check out. Film is notable. Can't check these books. Don't see the film under "D" in the free preview of the Historical Dictionary of Middle Eastern Cinema but it may be somewhere else, and other sources confirm notability.
- Language is generally good, but this sentence—"Their unique answers provide a window into the subconscious of the Palestinian refugee."—could be stated more neutrally. "Great acclaim" could also be clarified, especially since there is conspicuously not a footnote at the end of the sentence.
Overall: almost ready, but needs some clarification from nominator. groupuscule (talk) 19:08, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
