In 2007, under the guise of eradicating a base for the armed radical Islamist group Fat’h el-Islam, the Lebanese army effectively destroyed the Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr el-Bared. Residents were displaced and received little humanitarian support in their plight. This film is the result of director Madi sneaking a camera inside the camp to document the everyday survival for four years after the conflict. In Arabic with subtitles in English.
