Follow Amar's daily life as he scours the streets to earn a meager living collecting cardboard to recycle and struggles with his faith and the social realities of life in the Middle East. In this clip, driving around Zarqa looking for cardboard to recycle, Abu Ammar reveals his past life as a bodyguard for mujahedeen leaders.
