Frontiers of dreams and fears

Mai Masri - 2001 docu 56 min.

"Frontiers of Dreams and Fears" compares the experiences of refugees in
Lebanon and the West Bank through the correspondence of two refugee girls
who eventually meet.

Offering a rare glimpse into one side of the Middle East conflict,
Frontiers of Dreams and Fears explores the lives of a group of Palestinian
children growing up in refugee camps. The film focuses on two teenage
girls, Mona and Manar. Although living in refugee camps miles apart, the
girls manage to communicate and become friends with each other despite the
overwhelming barriers separating them. The film reveals their lives and
dreams and their growing relationship, at first through email, then
culminating in their dramatic meeting at the fence that separates them at
the Lebanese/Israeli border.
