Refugees: Life in the Camp - Part One

Part 1 / 3

Five journalism students from the four corners of Canada travel to two refugee camps in Kenya: Kakuma and Dadaab. Their journey takes them into the heart of these two camps in Northern East Africa and emphasizes the hardships that are an everyday reality for the thousands of refugees from mainly Somalia and Sudan.

These are the same camps that WUSC works with in the Student Refugee Program.

A very special thanks to Carrefour international de Presse universitaire francophone (CIPUF) and the extraordinary journalism students that traveled to Kenya.

A film by:
Julien Abord-Babin
Marie-Hélène Lafond
Marianne Laroche
Renaud Philippe
Carmel Wolfson

Produced in collaboration with the Government of Canada
in partnership with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)

Pictures: Renaud Philippe
Music: Thanks to Dr. Lee

To all refugees of Kakuma and Dadaab, without their help, the realization of this film would not be possible.

@2000andme Harrell-Bond is a lovely lady shes so cute and tiny and she calls bull on the spot if need be. Shes a bit funny actually.

I can't describe myself on this website because I DON'T WANT my identity to be known to others here. Sorry about that. If you want to know I may write to your inbox. Where are you? Do you know something about WUSC?

[2000andme]

Harrell-Bond fought against the abuse of power by humanitarian aid agencies who often treated the refugees disparagingly "rather than consulting with them as responsible equals". She questioned assumptions and preconceived notions about refugees and the "essential problem on which humanitarian relief programmes all over the world are based, that they, the helpers, are rescuing helpless victims".
