Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
A woman whose visit to a hair salon turns into a nightmare when she is blackmailed by its owner.
"Directed by Hany Abu-Assad (Omar), Huda’s Salon adopts the conventions of a spy thriller within the context of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories. The plot follows a woman who is trapped in a beauty salon and blackmailed into working with the occupation forces. While it doesn’t address the broader Palestinian conflict directly, the film illustrates how personal and political struggles intertwine in Palestinian lives—and how they can be weaponized against them."
