Nahr el-Bared, Mukhayyam `Itiqa (Detention Camp) - dir. Sandra Madi, 2011

In 2007, under the guise of eradicating a base for the armed radical Islamist group Fat'h el-Islam, the Lebanese army effectively destroyed the Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr el-Bared. Residents were displaced and received little humanitarian support in their plight. "Nahr el-Bared... Detention Camp" is the result of director Sandra Madi sneaking a camera inside the refugee camp, four years after the conflict, to document the everyday struggle for survival. The film is in Arabic with subtitles in English and was shown as part of the 'Hope and Resilience for Refugees and Asylum Seekers' conference that was held at the University of Leicester on 19 June 2012.* The conference was organised by the Clinical Psychology Unit at the University of Leicester to mark Refugee Week 2012 http://www.refugeeweek.org.uk/. The film is being shown on CivicLeicester with Sandra Madi's permission. *A playlist of videos from the conference is available at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3ABBD9E459CC5A04.
