Stephan Markworth 2004 documentary 87 min.

In 2003, Stefan Markworth visited Lebanon for the first time, coming by a
series of coincidences to stay in the Burj elBarajneh Palestinian refugee
camp. The film he made there is a personal account both of his own
experience as an Australian traveller coming to terms with the reality of
the refugee camp existing beside apparently affluent modern Beirut, and of
the remarkable young people he met there. With striking candour and humour,
the young men and women of the camp speak of their dreams, their fears and
their frustrations as they face a future framed by compounded uncertainties
and restrictions. The film is an intimate account of both the filmmaker's
experiences and those of his subjects and friends.
