Yasmine Perni
Rome, Italy
A mother, a wife, a daughter, a photographer, a journalist passionate about life.
I moved from my native Italy to the Middle East when I was 13 years old, living in Sudan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan and Jerusalem. I graduated from the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies, worked as a journalist, photographer, television producer and mother. I speak Italian, English, Swedish and Arabic. I went into documentary filmmaking inspired by the Christians of Palestine, whose story of perseverance and pride has been largely oobscured by the headlines
