A contemporary of Bob Dylan, who idolised her, Dalton chose a different path, turning her back on fame and opportunity before her death at an early age.

Little Palestine, Diary of a Siege
A filmic diary chronicling the largest Palestinian refugee camp in the Yarmouk area of Damascus, as its inhabitants are caught in the crossfire of the Syrian conflict. Abdallah Al-Khatib succeeds in capturing his own community in all of its vibrancy and colour, before another conflict threatens to destroy it.
