Presented by Friends of Palestine at Purdue.
irector Mai Masri focuses the film on two Palestinian children in the Chatila refugee camp in Lebanon: Farah, age 11 and Issa, age 12. When these children are given video cameras, the story of the camp evolves from their personal narratives as they articulate their feelings and hopes of their generation.
Many people first became aware of the Chitila camp in Lebanon after the shocking and horrific Sabra-Chatila massacre that took place there in 1982. Located in Beirut's "belt of misery", the camp is home to 15,000 Palestinians and Lebanese who share a common experience of displacement,unemployment and poverty. Fifty years after the exile of their grandparents from Palestine, the children of Chatila attempt to come to terms with the reality of being refugees in a camp that has survived massacre, siege and starvation.
