Made in Spring and Summer of 1978, on the heels of conflict in South Lebanon and just before the Camp David Accords, the film sheds light on the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the lives of Palestinians refugees in camps across Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Specifically, the film touches on the important question of Palestinian identity and the right to statehood. Part 2 of the two-part film, this portion highlights the years after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and the continual displacement of Palestinians moving between Jordan and Lebanon, underscoring major events like the Dawson’s Field Hijackings, the 1972 Israeli air raid in Syria and Lebanon, and United Nations (UN) resolutions on the inalienable rights of Palestinians.
