From the Eyes of the Samaritans

With fewer than 1,000 members worldwide, the Samaritans are one of the region’s oldest and smallest religious communities. Starting this year, API Senior Fellow Mohanad Salahat is teaming up with five aspiring Samaritan filmmakers to embark on a groundbreaking journey: documenting the community’s rich history, vibrant culture, and traditions from their own perspective. 

Titled “rom the Eyes of the Samaritans, this inspiring project will offer an intimate glimpse into Samaritan life, amplify the voices of its youth, and preserve the legacy of this remarkable community for generations to come.
