🇵🇸 Children of Shatila (1998) | Mai Masri
In September of 1982, the IOF with the help of Lebanese militia massacred more than 2400 Palestinian and Lebanese refugees in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in West Beirut.
More than 350,000 Palestinian refugees live in Lebanon, 15,000 of them in the refugee camp of Shatila in Beirut. Through the eyes of two children who live in this camp, Issa and Farah, this documentary explores the determination to keep family and dreams thriving in a landscape that has been sculpted by war, poverty, grief and displacement.
The filmmaker gives Issa and Farah a small video camera to film their lives and learn how they see their own world. Both children start asking their elders how they felt about leaving Palestine
Mai Masri is a palestinian filmmaker who has directed and produced many award winning films that have been broadcasted on more than 100 television stations around the world.
