She co-directed, wrote and edited Encounter Point which won best documentary prize at the San Francisco Film Festival. She then directed and produced the critically-acclaimed Budrus. Subsequently, Julia directed and produced My Neighbourhood, which won the coveted Peabody Award. She also directed Naila and the Uprising.
She is a Term Member at the Council on Foreign Relations, an Advisory Board Member to the Tribeca Film Institute, and a Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum. Her TED talk, “Pay Attention to Nonviolence,” was selected as one of the best talks of 2011 by the TED curators.
