Koushan Mousa (1998) is a film about the settlement policies in Israel. The filmmakers are witnessing the Israel occupied territories, with their cameras, after the Six Day War war which was in 1967. They start their trip at the western edge of the Arab East Jerusalem, Ma'aleh Adumim. Israel plans to expand their settlement onto Palestinian villages, plans that would kill people and ruin their homes. The Israeli people claim that God promised them this land long ago so it is now their right to take it from the Palestinians and ruin five of their villages.

After high school, El-Hassan made the decision to study filmmaking and sociology between the years 1989 and 1993, a decision her parents were strongly against. She then went on to graduate from London University Goldsmith College in 1996 with an M.A in film and television documentary.

Azza El Hassan, born April 21, 1971, in Amman, Jordan is a Palestinian documentary filmmaker, cinematographer, producer and writer. Her documentary films mostly reflect her experience living in exile and her experience living in Palestine. One of her best known works is Zaman al-akhbar (2001).

El-Hassan was born April 21, 1971, in Amman, Jordon where her parents, originally from Palestine, lived in exile. In September of that year, her family moved to Beirut, Lebanon, due to the aftermath of Black September. Living in Beirut was a difficult time for the family because Lebanon was also suffering from a civil war. She attended school in Beirut when the situation allowed it. She also volunteered in hospitals and did a lot of work when the days there were very tough. At the age of eleven, her family moved back to Amman because of the war conditions in Beirut. The tragedy and war going on around her left a massive mark in her mind, and would later have an impact on her work.
