A World Not Ours

A World Not Ours is an intimate, bittersweet documentary portrait of three generations of exile in Ain el-Helweh, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon. Set up in 1948 as a temporary haven, today it is home to more than 70,000 people living in limbo. Filmmaker Mahdi Fleifel, who grew up there and visits every year, presents this sensitive, passionate study of belonging and increasing desperation. A World Not Ours premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and has picked up awards at many international film festivals.

This film is part of the Contemporary Arab Cinema 2015 series.
