The Tower is a nuanced exploration of diaspora and heritage. By centering Palestinian identity and using memory to challenge Eurocentric historical perspectives, the film provides a strong sense of cultural ability to act. While the film addresses post-colonialism and ethnic identity effectively, it remains neutral on other social dimensions such as LGBTQ+ and disability issues. Its strength lies in its use of animation to reclaim a underrepresented history.
Category Breakdown

The film highlights a Palestinian protagonist and connects a Norwegian present with a displaced past. This approach gives significant importance to a historically underrepresented identity.
The film explores post-colonial themes and systemic displacement, emphasizing ancestral connections and subjective truths over dominant Western narratives.
There is no significant focus on physical or neurodivergent representation. The story prioritizes the psychological and cultural dimensions of the protagonist's experience instead.
