Israa took part in different workshops during one of Action for Hope convoy visits during which she worked on several movie productions including “Laugh From Your Heart,” “Chess,” and “Childhood Dreams.” Israa, along with her colleagues, learned the different cinematic specializations but she prefers filming and stop-motion techniques.
