ALL THAT’S LEFT OF YOU Trailer: Jordan’s Oscar Entry Captures a Palestinian Family’s History Throughout Conflict

With the Palestinian-Israeli conflict making headlines now more than ever, one film that will surely resonate is All That’s Left of You, Jordan’s official submission for international feature film at the 98th Academy Awards. Cherien Dabis (Amreeka, May in the Summer) wrote and directed the multigenerational drama that had its world premiere at this year’s Sundance, where it brought a wave of emotions to audiences and critics alike. Set across multiple decades, it follows a family in Palestine struggling in the aftermath of their teenage son being confronted by Israeli soldiers at a West Bank protest, and the history of events leading up to that fateful moment as recounted by his mother (played by Dabis herself). The film also stars Saleh Bakri, Salah El Din, Mohammad Bakri, Adam Bakri, Maria Zreik, Muhammad Abed Elrahman, and Sanad Alkabareti.

It has also screened at numerous festivals worldwide this year, including the Telluride Film Festival. With Javier Bardem and Mark Ruffalo now on board as executive producers, Watermelon Pictures and Visibility Films have slated it for a qualifying theatrical run in Los Angeles beginning Friday, November 28, followed by a release in select cities on Friday, January 9, 2026, before opening nationwide in weeks to follow. The first official trailer and poster have now arrived.

Here’s the official synopsis:

A deeply moving, multigenerational drama, ALL THAT’S LEFT OF YOU follows a Palestinian teenager who gets swept into a protest in the Occupied West Bank and experiences a moment of violence that rocks his family. The film unfolds as his mother recounts the political and emotional threads that led to that fateful moment. Spanning seven decades, the film traces the hopes and heartaches of one uprooted family, bearing witness to the scars of dispossession and the enduring legacy of survival.

Writer-director-actor Dabis said in a statement, “ALL THAT’S LEFT OF YOU takes audiences back to 1948—the origin of Palestinian displacement—and follows one family across nearly eight decades, shaped by political forces beyond their control. It is the untold story of how Palestinians first became refugees, and how that history led us to the present moment. To understand what’s happening in Gaza today, we must first understand the history of how we arrived here.”
