Uploaded by voicesbeyondwalls on Sep 9, 2009
Synopsis: A group of teenagers living in Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem reenact the arrest of one of their friends, who is 15 years old and being held without trial in an Israeli prison. The boys best friend holds onto a necklace, a symbol of his friend and the hope for his return. The film highlights the issue of Palestinian child prisoners in Israeli jails. It is common practice for Israeli soldiers to raid refugee camps at night, where they routinely round up young men and boys. Prisoners are held without trials and there are no official charges for their supposed crimes. Ultimately, the film emphasizes that friendship unites these youth in times of difficulty and separation.
Filmmakers: Nisreen, Rawan, Saed, Wissam, Raed, Julie
The film was made during the digital storytelling workshop conducted by Voices Beyond Walls at Lajee Center, Aida Refugee Camp, Bethlehem in July 2007.
