In this re-released episode of Well Rooted, we sit down with Shahed Khaddash — a Palestinian-American director and producer whose work is redefining how stories from our communities are told.
With an eye for truth and authenticity, Shahed has collaborated with powerhouse brands like OLAY, Lexus, and Elle Magazine, crafting visual stories that bridge cultures and challenge stereotypes. We explore her groundbreaking approach to storytelling — from her highly anticipated Palestinian docuseries to an upcoming HBO project that’s turning heads in the industry.
Shahed opens up about her creative journey, her mission to amplify Palestinian voices, and how film can be used as a radical act of visibility and empowerment.
This episode is a powerful reminder that storytelling isn’t just art — it’s resistance, representation, and revolution. Don’t miss it.
