A documentary about the inhabitants of Bourj Al Barajneh, a Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut established by the UN as a temporary solution to the Palestinian refugee crisis resulting from the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. 54 years and 4 generations later, the 20,000 people of Bourj Al Barajneh are still refugees facing lifelong discrimination (legally prohibited from 73 jobs), unemployment and poverty. A film for our times and one that bears witness.
