A portrait of three generations of exile in the refugee camp of Ain el-Helweh, in southern Lebanon. Based on a wealth of personal recordings, family archives, and historical footage, A World Not Ours is an illuminating study of belonging in the lives of those for whom dispossession is the norm.
In Ain el-Helweh, the largest camp for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, hopes and dreams persevere amid a heartbreaking cycle of poverty. Vividly blending home videos and contemporary interviews, Mahdi Fleifel lends a loving intimacy to the stateless whose lives are often reduced to mere statistics.
