Dabis Catalyst Frame
Opens on iconic First Intifada teenager protest image, establishing immediate personal conflict before weaving backwards into 1948 Nakba memory layers.
Chronological Generational
Begins at the earliest historical origin point (1948 displacement). Builds linear context, but risks slower opening viewer engagement.
In-Medias-Res Clash
Opens directly inside high-tension contemporary friction. High immediate momentum, but requires retroactive exposition for historical depth.
Archive Montage Framing
Frames narrative through documentary footage and voiceover recollections. High historical authority, slightly lowered emotional intimacy.
