About the Film - This film tells the story of a Palestinian refugee boy whose family was forced to flee their village of Yibna in 1948, which led to his birth in a refugee camp in Lebanon. He narrowly escaped the Sabra and Shatila massacre in 1982 by fleeing to Yemen, seeking refuge.

His mother died in Syria and was buried in Lebanon. He lived the remaining years of his childhood in the Canada refugee camp in Egypt, later returning with his father to Gaza after the Oslo Accords allowed them back to their homeland.

This is the true story of Mohammad’s life, a story that is shared by countless other Palestinians, a story of displacement, massacre, and war. But it’s also a story of hope, the uncompromising strength of the human spirit, and the eternal power of music.
