"Free entry / PWYC screening of this heart-wrenching and often humorous portrait of Palestinian life in Lebanon’s Ein el-Helweh refugee camp. In Mahdi’s video diary, the World Cup sits next to PLO training, and family home movies mix with armed teenage hijinks and war-torn destruction. A World Not Ours is raw dispossession seen through generations of martyrs, exiles and those forced to remain in a land not theirs."

FREE SCREENING FOR REFUGEE WEEK
A World Not Ours is an intimate, humorous, portrait of three generations of
exile in the refugee camp of Ein el-Helweh, in southern Lebanon. Based on a wealth of personal recordings, family archives, and historical footage, the film is a sensitive, and illuminating study of belonging, friendship, and family.
Filmed over more than 20 years by multiple generations of the same family, A World Not Ours is more than just a family portrait; it is an attempt to record what is being forgotten, and mark what should not be erased from collective memory.
